Default Sport Body Kit

I really want to add the sport body kit to my X and have been looking at the one on Mina gallery; http://www.minagallery.com/jagxp/Jag...t-packages.htm
I went to the dealer and they recommended I look at the Arden website. The guy at the dealer said that he could kit the Arden kit installed and painted for $7500, I politely declined.
The Mina kit looks good and a really good price. It includes the front and rear apron, side skirts, and the upper and lower mesh grills. I e-mailed them and asked some questions. They said the kit was pretty easy to install and that it was made out of fiberglass. I was disappointed that it wasn't polyurethane because it is more forgiving when it comes to impacts.
My main reason for this thread is advice. Has anyone dealt with Mina? Are they a good company to deal with? Are their products good quality? has anyone purchased this body kit? Is it, in fact, easy to install?
Another question is, has anyone added a body kit and then had it painted? How much is it to have just the new pieces painted?

So, no one here had any experience with Mina or their products?

No experience here, but it sure makes the car look great, not such a bad price either.

I don't know if I would like to go with fiberglass. The poly should be easier to work with and more durable.

I purchased top and bottom mesh grille from Mina and I have had no problems. The quality of the items are satisfying to my needs. As for the body kit, I can't speak upon because I don't have one. Good luck on your adventure and post pictures if you ever do purchase it!

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know if someone makes a poly bumper?

You might put in a call to Arden and ask, or maybe your dealer might know if they did any body kit installs for customers.

The total package does look quite good in my opinion. Sans spoiler of course.
