Default Saleen body kit or WRC body kit for Focus

so im thinking after my 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 hatchback gets paid off, i wanna do some stuff to it. im leaning towards either going rally style with the WRC body kit and other enhancements OR go with the Saleen body kit and do that route. i like both alot and both are really expensive kits....around $1500 for each for 7 piece kit. heres a pic of each one:

im with 2000si, $1500 will buy all the swap components, you just need to find an engine. a well running 302+tranny will only set you back $500 ( give or take a few green-backs and parts )

If you still insist on the kit, Seanyizzle has the right idea....even better still the SVT kit looks pretty clean, .......trash the sallean kit....wrc kit is gonna cost you more than that in body work and wheels that look right under it.

FIRST put a Vortech blower on it, crank up the boost and lay down some power.
THEN paint it pink and put bumper stickers all over it with chrome hub caps..
