I just ordered my Replica NISMO Spoiler (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2459089159)

(I got mine for $200.50 SHIPPED!)

Should be here in about 2 weeks. I know I have to do some looking around my area for a quality body shop, but can anyone who had something similar painted and installed give me a rough estimate of what I might expect to pay, or what I might want to avoid as a rip off?

Thanks in advance.

 

Average to paint a spoiler is around $150.00 bucks. Everyone I know who's ever gotten their spoiler painted, the price came to about that mean.

Look for a place that is pretty reputable, or where they have experience in prepping and painting aftermarket pieces.
Don't just go to any insurance contracted body shop or random body shop. These guys will charge to the ceiling because even though most shops can do it, they take into account the time it takes for them to get it right.
If a shop asks to borrow your car or a piece of your car to color match the spoiler than make a run for it!
Any reputable paintshop should have the resources to match up your color code belonging to your make and model.

Some prep work might be needed for your nismo replica so take that into consideration as well. When I say "prep" I mean a flux average of 15 bucks or more. Alot more than that and they're B.Sing you on the prep work. Bottom line is...it should be around 150 to 175 bucks.

Good luck and may it dry fast and be installed soon!
