I called every garage around and they quoted me $1,200 for paint & instillation. I remember in high school it would only cost around $400. I finally found a guy that works out of his house is building a new shop. he did mine for $800.

wtf 800 for paint and install of a kit? probably takes them less than 3 hours and less than $100 in paint/misc parts. i was just about to throw some skirts on and a front lip.... and they charge that much? i might just forget it now.

I was mainly talking about just the bodykits the skirts and bumpers I'm pretty sure the widebody kits will be more expensive.

I had my Aerosync Front and Nismo sides installed and painted, the rear bumper fixed from a fender bender and re painted all for 899. It was a pretty good price I thought becasue I knew the guy.

you can probably mount the kit urself and save some money and just have someone spray it...if you got a good kit it should kit pretty good.

I paid for prep & paint only, then installed everything myself. Not hard to do at all.

Someone quoted me $1300 to install and paint. The kit will need a work to make it fit though so what do you guys think?

I just took my car in today to the shop and they want $1300 for the paint and install. My kit requires modification to make it fit so its ok with me because I had a friend paid $1600 and that was for the aerosync replica and authentic nismo side skirts and the rear. So $1300 to me is fine. I just can't wait to pick it up on tuesday.
