check your local bodyshop. Any of them will be able to do it for you. When painting it, ask them to use PPG paint.

Can someone give me a general price range to expect when getting a body kit installed and painted ( no wing ). Any kit, just for reference, but more specifically the nismo kit. Thanks.

around 600-700.
make sure you get a commitment on color match.
do not leave that up in the air.
make sure the shop understands that some z colors are notoriously difficult to color match.
good luck.

^ That range is much too low IMO. Anything below $1,000 for a quality job is unrealistic to expect.

depend on how much profit they want to make. In return, they will have lots of referral.

make sure the body shop you go to uses PPG BRAND paint, if you want the color to match properly!!!

I really dont understand this. Yes PPG has the best chance but it just depends on the painter. No paint will match out of the can.
