Default Is this a good deal for paint/install?

I'm getting my Nismo kit/wing painted and installed at one of the local shop. He's well known in the import scene and is literally at every car show and basically is charging me this

$750 for
-prep
-primer
-paint
-paint grill black
-fit jdm nismo side markers on (this is a replica kit thats why it didn't fit)
-paint portion of the nismo wing black
-install kit
-install Nismo wing

Is this a good deal?

$750?! Sounds REALLY good to me if he's as good as you say he is. Quality is always worth paying for. Just make sure he guarantees that it will match the car paint perfectly. Good luck...and post pics when its done!

Thanks guys! Looks like THE TECH approves

I'll get some pics up asap. As for the paint matching I left my car there for the install so I'm sure it's going to be a great match. Plus, he asked me and another forum member to show up at Global Imports in 2 months with him so I'm sure he'll wanna do a good job since we'll be at his booth

I hope so, my friend Tony (tonyrd1) also has his car there and we're both getting the same stuff done.

Tony's Z has the kit installed/preped already so all he has to do is fix some cracks, prep that portion, install spoiler, take off kit, paint, install kit back. he's charging $700 for this

My Z needs the kit test fitted, modify any fitment issues (probly not a whole lot as he said this is a really good kit), take the kit off, prep, paint, install kit and spoiler for $750. We got the deal because we promised to show at Global Imports for him and also we were bringing our cars in at the same time for this deal.
