Does anyone here have any experience with Extreme Dimensions product? I was thinking about getting the "Shark" body kit for my '03 Leggy.

Does anyone have this kit or another from the company? How does it hold up? Do you think I could fit the stock fog lights into the holes there?

Also, how much is a reasonable price to get it painted to match my car?

Thanks guys!

Its fiberglass so 2 things will happen
1) Fitment issues that you or a body shop will have to massage into place
2) No forgiveness. These kits have minimal flex compared to ABS/Urethane kits.

You should be able to fit your stock fogs in the fog opening but your going to have to make a custom bracket and there is going to be lots of gaps around the entire fog.

Expect to pay $200 at a shitty body shop and $500+ at a decent shop. You get what you pay for!!! Cheap paint.. cheap prep work = cheap job!

Keep in mind that "painted to match my car?" is not a color blend. your car is red and very hard to match. You WILL notice the color difference if you just paint the bumper. Proper blends usually include the edges of the fenders and hood.
