well this post wouldn't be right if I didn't redeem myself. sorry for getting out of line in the previous post fellas, it was in bad taste I know.
back to business, I'd spend up to $1500 for the right kit. must be clean/aggressive with an emphasis on a better front fascia than the SVT.
If anyone wanted to help, I'd be willing to put in some work to shop for designs with different companies. The one's I've already spoke with want a minimum of 20 buyers before they'll even design something but that doesn't help. Nobody wants to front money for a product they haven't even seen. But with the right help, I could possibly put something very nice together in photoshop/3d studio max that could be shopped around to these places once we decide on a kit for the pre-98's and post 98's.
