I can't swallow 10K either, but if you find a cosmetically damaged 2nd gen 10K wouldn't be a terrible kit for like an almost entirely new body.
I saw a 2nd gen FX for sale up here in canada that had been marked totalled by the insurance companies because of hail damage. Car would have been pretty cheap to pick up, and slapping on the renegade kit would have solved like 75% of the damaged panels.
