The only thing I might *MIGHT* get from that kit is the mirrors, but only if they work well with the nismo kit.


are you gonna put fog lights in those slots?

That is pretty high, you didnt mention if the instalation included paint. I hope it is! But anyways check around, the reason for the high pricing may because the shop wanted to blend the color of the kit in which case costs almost twice as much and isn't neccasr for a new color. I paid $650 for my nismo kit, but that was because I had got in with really good deal and he would've quoted me alot more. Granted your would cost a little more because of the rear bumper but not that much.

Default Thanks man

I think $2k is too much for me too. Yes! it is including paint. I guess I need to shop around more. $650 for installation and paint job are really good deal man! I wish I could have that deal too!

The guy I get my work done told me he'd charge $100 for each item installed, which is 4 items (front, 2 sideskirts, rear), then $100 for each item painted, which is $400 again (paint and clearcoat). Total of 800 to install/paint/clearcoat a bodykit.

Make sure when installing they don't just paint it, they also clear coat it!!!

My body shop treated it as if they were just removing and replacing the stock parts. Came out to $685 (including paint) for front, side skirts and rear piece.

thats a very productive comment towards this thread topic ....

I think that's a lot to pay, for $1,000-$1,500 more, might as well get the entire car repainted.

LOL! you're welcome

Is that your response to the guy above that told the inquisitor that he doesnt want this kit? There are a lot of non-productive comments on this board if that means that the comment has nothing to do with the original post. Are you the Productivity Police or something? geez

It should be about $200 bucks per bumper and about $150 each side. The kit should not cost more then 800-850 installed.

To paint a body kit for 1500-2000 is a joke. I could see if it was a bad replica but Veilside makes great fitting kits. Real Veilside kits are not hard to prep or paint and fit right on the money no modifying.

I for one, love this kit and plan to buy it execept I think I will go with the V1 wing. What I want to know is what are the wheels on this car? I've looked all over and can not find them.

Those wheels are Veilside wheels... forgot the name. $2000 is way too much for a 5-piece install, are you also installing the overfenders? $1000 is more in the ballpark w/o over fender install. Maybe with a wing $1200, but that is a pretty high price.

Nice HREs by the way.

The kit is a little too much for my taste but I don't think its horrible too each his own I say. But that price is way too high. I'd deffinitely would shop around. good luck with the car.
