I'm on a budget so if this stuff is fine the price is sure right.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. This is a big job and you don't want to use inferior parts, plus aftermarket part don't last as long and don't fit as well, something to think about.

Well after some research I did purchase that kit from ebay along with new front struts and a tune up kit. Other than the items in this kit I'm thinking about a thermostat and a new battery. I still need a used / aftermarket front and rear bumper cover, a front right fender and a left rear outer tail light.

So this is what I have coming (I know there not perfect but there what I can afford)
