If you like how it looks, that's what counts, you drive it, we don't

My thoughts would be get it unpainted, and have a body shop paint and fit it, that way you can be sure it'll be properly painted, and the colours will match.

Other than that, 16/17" wheels, and a set of lowering springs... There you've got a nice different looking Saturn.

Do you have the Saturn "L" or is it the "SL"? That kit won't fit on both cars... the SL is the smaller 4-door and the L is the larger.

What are do you live in? There might be a good car customization shop or "body shop" in town that would be able to give you a price for the kit & installation. $800 seems high to me for the kit by itself... and installation will add (maybe) another $200-300 dollars.

if you do get your car painted make sure its a base/clear wet sand and buff. its one of the best paint job out there, stay away from enamel and other cheap 200 buck paint jobs that you see a lot of places advertising because they don't clean the car before they spray them in most cases and there generally sprayed with a cheaper paint. you get what you pay for. also when you get the body man to order paint make sure he orders enough to repaint a full car and a extra side of the car, in case it gets wrecked you will be glad that you have the extra paint, the shades will not be off, ive gone as far as writing down the psi that i spray cars with because a slight change in the psi of the sprayer will also change the shade of the paint slightly.

It's difficult to paint, since it's a saturn. Even if you do paint it, it's tricky because you have to have lot's of flex in the paint, or it can crack.

Anyhow, make sure it gets professionally fitted, and painted at a shop. There's nothing more ricey than badly fitted/badly painted body kits. Well, there are 3 foot aluminum wings, but that's a different story

I'm with Cbass on this. (it's frightening how often I agree with the guy, and he with me) Saturns are notorious in body shops for giving more grief than they're worth (to the shop, not the owner). Same goes for Fieros. Those dent resistant plastic body panels just don't take paint without ten tons of primer. Even then the stuff flakes off after a few years if the car gets used hard.

But don't use that as an excuse to NOT paint your body kit. A good body kit looks like it's part of the body and harmonizes with the car's shape. A great body kit also adds some sort of aerodynamic benefit, but we won't get into that.:angel:

[Cbass]

Lol... the body kit will most likely be fiberglass, so painting it won't be that hard, just make sure the shop gets the paint right

[Shawna03]

As far as the body kit goes Im only looking at that possibility cause my cars kinda pointy and I dont think I like this too much!

[prwest]

I've seen several saturn SL sedans customized the only ones that i thought looked good were the ones with tinted windows and maybe some 16s or 17s there isnt much you can do with that type of car...personally i would save up and get something else

[Shawna03]

Well when someone gives you a decent car completely paid off you try not to worry about getting another. So thats why Im trying to kinda do some stuff to, make it look a little better. But anyways, just wanted to thank you guys for all your help.

Thanks

suggestions?

Lower the thing a little bit, maybe about 3 inches depending on the model, also a paint job or a graphic depending on the shape of the body should spruce things up.
