D3 CTS/CTS-V Body Kit - Page 3

Hello Chef,
You do bring up a good point about having the kits painted per vehicle. Unfortunately we cannot ensure the painted components would not be damaged when shipping. As for having to spend money when having them painted. We spend extra money in our production process to minimize the amount of prep time when having D3 products painted. The idea is for ANY bodyshop to spend less than (1) hour per item in prepping. To give you an idea Cadillac requires replacement body panels to have 1-2 hours of minimum prep time when painting or replacing body panels. So we do try to help ease any additional expenses related to installing new exterior components.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

Dr. Design

Not a fan of the body kit. The sketch looks pretty awesome, though. Make that!

Another issue I've seen with purchasing body kit components pre-painted is they'll paint them to the exact paint code, as the car rolled off the showroom floor. They do NOT take in to account for weather and sun damage/fading, so while your body parts might look wonderful, if you have an older vehicle that gets exposed to the elements a lot, the paint color could be way off leaving you in need of a full paint job. Most body shops that paint kits and do the installs will blend the colors so there is not such a drastic change in color and appearance.

The way the article sounded the guy dropped ANOTHER $40K at D3 on stuff. It was a nice car but not THAT nice. Was that accurate?

mgscustomtune · #44 (**permalink**) 03-24-08, 11:28 PM

I was at the web site looking at the kit for my V and if its the one in the picture on the foum is very nice. When l click on the brocher it shows coming soon?

Dr. Design · #45 (**permalink**) 03-25-08, 01:33 PM

Yeah that is about right. At the time of the photoshoot the vehicle was completed (i.e. engine work, blower, brakes, etc...)
