each shop is going to be different. I've gotten estimates from $500-$1000 just to paint some sideskirts =O i've heard it's cheaper on the west coast but expect somewhere around $1000 for a full kit.

Its also alot of work to get them to fit properly. You have to remember that when a shop does work on a vehicle and then leaves, their name is permanently attached to that work. If they see (or expect) issues that need to be addressed to meet their standards you can expect a slightly higher price. Some shops don't care once it leaves, but the higher quality guys definitely care about something other people will see and make their own opinons on.

Edit: Always ask to see some of their work (in person, custom or not). this gives you an accurate idea of what to expect from them as an avg. customer.

Maybe....I guess I did have mine done at a real well known shop here on the west coast. reasonable is only defined by the person spending the money.
