Help me pick a Body kit

Selling my 4 wheeler, hoping to get around $600. If so, I wanna get a body kit. I see many dura flex kits on eBay for under $600. If you had the cash, which kit would you get? Keep in mind I have to get a full front and back bumper due to scratches I want gone. Diablo kit?

Thanks for the input. Not bad, but does it just mount onto the lower half of your bumper? If so, that's no good. My front and back bumper have damage so I wanna just replace them altogether.
This is what I think I'm gonna order

I'm only nervous about how I'm gonna have to mount it. It says it could have attachments anywhere...soooo...yeah.

I have that rear bumper and side skirts. I will say these kits do not fit with the current clips the OEM bumper uses. Some trimming and griding may be needed. Also plan to drill some holes to mount the side skirts. Also that rear bumper will collect a lot of dirt and rocks over time behind the rear wheels that will cause the bumper to weigh a good bit more and "sag".

My yaris is in at the body shop this week. I am getting the C-One front replica.

To be honest I think the OEM rear bumper sits too high. I never liked the cars out there who only do a front lip and dont do sides and rear to match. Some people like it though. That is just a personal opinion.

before you pull the trigger on anything, I will try to swing by the body shop and take a few shots of how I got mine set up. Will take a few pictures. I got some shots on my computer but I am at work. I do not know how the C-One replica is going to fit, But I will be using latches to keep it in place on the fenders like I am doing for the rear bumper right now.

Here was my thread when I was looking for something to keep my bumper from saging after the fiberglass broke where you screw into the body.

I freaking love that ings +1 replica front. I would opt for that with some coilovers/wide wheels and stock body everywhere else.

Pics are helping a lot guys. Thanks. I'm guessing coil overs are the route everyone is going for the low stance? And rice thanks for going out of your way. Pretty sure I read that thread you made but I'll double check.

absolutely. Coilovers are a must. There are two or three sets for sale used right now 500 or less. Theres even some ksports missing rear dampers going for 350! Im sure you could negotiate and grab some high quality dampers for ~200. Then use the leftover for a nice front lip and done. Wheels youve already got and can always add spacers for a more fitted look.

I would just replace the stock bumpers and get a Kaminari lip kit, those ebay body kits dont hold up well and fitment is usually off.

I'm thinking replace the stock front and maybe a lip then coill overs. But what other mod would I have to do to get it to sit as low as you guys have yours?
