If it were me,which in my case,the paint on my car is pretty f00ked at the moment. It was repainted in '99 after a minor accident,and the paint is flaking off on the hood and front bumper,and then there are scratches and small dents all over the place. Typical abuse for a 10 year old car though. However,with the paint in that condition,if I were to put a kit on the car,why would I just paint the kit and let the rest of the car look like crap? I would install the kit,and then paint the whole car so it looks beautiful and flawless when it comes out of the shop. Alot of the time too,you'll see kits on a car that are painted the same colour,but they're darker,due to the rest of the car being naturally faded from the elements. I was going to properly paint (not the rattle can 2 tone job) my car this year,but I have to drive the car through this winter,so I said why spend $3000 on a wicked paint job when it'll just get ruined over the winter? I'm doing the rest of my body and paint work in the spring. Hopefully I can track down an SVT rear bumper by then. My dual exhaust looks kinda goofy poking out the back of a stock '95 bumper,lol.
