OP, you keep mentioning you have the money to buy it out right. I don't know why you'd even consider financing a purchase like this that will likely hurt your credit more than help it. Additionally, cheers on the mechanical engineer route. If you're a car-guy there's no better career for you, and it pays well. But I think you'll also find that as you age, and you surround yourself by fellow engineers that putting a ricey looking body kit, with stupid expensive wheels that don't fit is going to net you quite a lot of scrutiny. Honestly, I would save the money. If you're looking to do something car related with it, try a track day and then put the $5,000 that you saved into a Roth IRA account. Also worth noting, there's basically no greater way to destroy a cars value then to add a wide body to it. People generally like clean, unmolested cars, not one's cut up to look like their favorite youtubers car.

Perfect example of “Ask a stupid question, get a ‘stupid’ answer”
It’s like one thread a day where someone gets upset when we all don’t cheer them on |

Secondly I plan to keep this car for the rest of my life if I can or pass on to my future son etc. so the whole value of the car thing kinda doesn’t apply to me. If ima this car for that long I might as well make it look nice how I like it. And I personally do love widebodies. I do plan to take the car to the track possibly after I rebuild the engine and supercharge it, which are future plans. I just don’t have the time for all that right now. |

This is why I’m taking it to a shop to be done professionally because I can do it if I really wanted to but it won’t come out as good as if a professional shop did it obviously. |

Frequently applying for small loans can be a red flag to banks/creditors if you do it too much. But you already knew all that, since you're an expert, but not arrogant. Quote:

Granted Taken, is this you, I, we, us, them....
Wide body kit is the worse design ever, you cannot even see the panel gaps with your eyes closed, I had to open my eyes to see the short panels and gaps, what were they thing. In other news
