2) I CAN Afford just buying it all in cash with the install and paint if I wanted to. Why does everyone assume that just because i want to build my credit a little bit more on car parts that all of a sudden I'm broke??? Dude i have a good amount saved up in my bank account and could do this build 4 times over if I wanted and im not BULLSHITTING or just blowing smoke here.
3) Building cars is my hobby and mostly what I buy aside from computer stuff I suppose so its in my best interest to raise my credit in this way since I dont spend it anywhere else.
4) Yes I understand the boost isn't alot but from the beginning i kept implying that If i could raise it up a lil more with 0% interest that is definitely the BEST option possible and only on those terms will I do it.
5) I understand where your coming from dude I get it... But im keeping this car probably for as long as I can or until its totaled lol. It was my first car and I plan to continue building it even after the engine dies. I have alot of big things planned for this car once I graduate as a Mechanical Engineer.
6) I just asked one simple questions and everyone is blowing it out of proportion.. assuming things left and right.. the internet is a stupid place lol.:iono:

You keep saying this, but you're ignoring the intelligent advice to just be using a credit card for all purchases if your actual goal is improving your credit score. Like I said before, we get about $1000/year back in cash back just for buying whatever we'd be buying anyway by using our CC's for pretty much everything we can.

Taking out multiple short term loans can hurt more than it'll help because you're having another hard hit credit check done every time you get a new one. A long standing credit card doesn't have the same downfall, and using it and paying it off in full helps more.

Good luck in life. You're going places.

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.

Panel gaps on some, other times it doesn't sit flush. Only if you mold it to the body and paint it will it be decent. I personally don't like wide body but one video, this idiot does a crappy job cutting into his fenders, RTV the edges and uses a 50mm rear 30mm front wheel spacer. Car was pretty much spotless before he started cutting. He has to cut more because the wheels are rubbing.

Yes i know its not the best way to improve your credit but I already knew that going in obviously... If i can boost my credit with a simple purchase WHY not do it? Its so simple i dont understand how people dont get this simple logic.
As far as the Ikonmotorsports I made a post on the facebook page where literally almost 100 people posted saying how AMAZING that replica is showing pics and all that jazz. Now that i have the kit I can even tell how good this kit is. Like i said i went to 3 body shops on their opinion of the kit and they said it was one of the best if not best replica kit they've ever seen. People on here just talk out of their ass without knowing the facts but thats the internet what can you do:iono:

Andddd nooo when I have financed parts in the past they were all small inquiries I made sure of that and I did it spread out over months so it wouldn’t hurt my credit score, again I’m not an idiot and NO I’m not arrogant I know what the fuck I’m doing. I asked a simple question and you guys are telling me what I already know...

Keep in mind I’m only financing using small inquiries so it hardly lowers my score initially and then it just goes up overtime as I pay.

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.
