Continental kits

[dirt_cheap_fleetwood]

Okay, I have scoured the internet and the forums here looking for a place that will sell a continental kit for my car. I saw an '87 DeVille on Ebay with one that looked really sharp. I did find another forum where a guy posted a thread claiming that he had continental kits for nearly all cars for a reasonable price ($300-600), but the site is no longer in existence.

Anyway, does anybody know of a website or a shop that still sells them? I know they are very dated now but if the price is what I can afford I would love to get my hands on one. I've got an '88 Fleetwood FWD, which for those who don't know is basically a DeVille.

check e&g classic. thats the manufacturer of the original kits and on the website it shows where you can buy in your area. Ebay is always good. thats where I got mine...

I bought my continental kit from Slab Customs. At first I thought they were way to expensive until I search around. I called Big Tex on Cullin Blvd. and went by this place called the Slab Spot and they were asking 1200 to 1500 for new E&G kit, I ran back to Slab Customs. I called and talked to the owner and he explained that these kits are about to become collectors items, he said E&G does not do mass production on the item anymore, they are doing a made to order type deal. He also said E&G are about to stop making them so the prices will sky rocket. That's why you can't hardly find them anymore. They have used ones on ebay, but you never know what might come in the mail from ebay,so it's up to you to take that risk. I decided to just get me a new one.

youll never find me putting one on my car even if it was free
and at 1k youve got to be kidding?

Who cares what you will put on your car, this thread is called CONTENENTAL KITS so if you are not interested why post...no one gives a #$%@ what you put on your car.

[CadillacSTS2003]

that same logic could be applied to your statement...
im allowed to list my opinion
apparently i caught you at the wrong time of the month...

I do agree with STS 2003 on this one, having a "blinged" up tire haning off the back of my car doesnt exactly sit right with me, looks pretty damn ghetto IMHO, waste of a grand if you ask me, and cadirider STS2003 here knows his shit when it comes to these cars as do many othe members, id watch your mouth, the more you act like a pissy bitch, the less tempted people will be to help you when you have trouble.

Ahh, but I am not going for the "blinged up" look as you call it. I just want it to look a little classy. They look good on my body style car because it sits between the taillights, so it doesn't actually stick out the back of the car. The taillights actually stick out further. I also don't plan on spending a grand for one.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

i'd have to see it to tell the truth... my rant was more direced at cadirider's shitty attitude then anything, but just giving my opinion :P
