Default Wrecked Car, Need Advice

My car was taken out today by a f*ckin GEO, i've got to replace the passenger side door, quarter panel, and side skirt. Maybe even a little more, i was thinking about going with a Wings West body kit, does anyone know if it includes the whole front bumper and rear bumper or does it jsut have a "air dam" that adds onto the stock front bumper. What about the back bumper, is it actually any different than the stock T/A bumper? What do you guys think i should do.

body kit doesn't include parts that came stock (like the front and rear bumpers), it just includes add-on ground effects.

i think you should leave the g-fx out, and just fix the damage.

So when it says it adds the front and the rear stuff what exactly is it adding because the back looks the same as stock.

i might be an idiot, but i think it's just a rear piece that bolts onto the stock bumper. post the pic or a link so that i can see what you are talking about.

The kit surely only includes the "added on" parts you see. The front and rear bumper covers are factory.
