bodykit install pricing
Can anyone tell me how much this would end up costing in SoCal? Just need a ballpark figure on people who've done work similar to this.
Here it is :
#1 - Paint and install Ings (or other) fiberglass sideskirts (good fitment,
painted stock Super Black)
#2 - Veilside V1 lip (fiberglass version) molded to stock front bumper /
painted stock Super Black
#3 - Paint doorhandles to match body, shave front/rear 'hamburger' emblems
+ side 'Z' emblems
I'm leaning toward taking it to one of these shops - M1 Autobody, Auto Explosion, or MOB Works.

www.mobworks.com Based on the install for my kit. I would say about $500-700 for yours since it includes molding. Call Miguel for a reasonable quote.

I would say if it all orginal kits such as ings and Veilside the prices should be around the following:
1 - Paint and install Ings (or other) fiberglass sideskirts (good fitment,
painted stock Super Black)- $400
2 - Veilside V1 lip (fiberglass version) molded to stock front bumper /
painted stock Super Black- Molded $400
3 - Paint doorhandles to match body, shave front/rear 'hamburger' emblems
+ side 'Z' emblems-
Both fenders will have to be repainted, front bumper repainted as well as the rear truck lid. The door handles would have to be done.
I say your taking atleast $1000+
Out of all the places lsited I would personally recommend Auto Explosion.
Auto Explosion is the most reasonable, has good turn around time, and also does really good paint work.
M-1 plays around with people too much with pricing and rarely does a great paint job.
MOB I have no idea.

thanks for the info fellas... So basically in the ballpark of $1800 for all bodywork. Not bad at all ! I guessed roughly $1500 for everything. I figured the shaving of the emblems would require repainting of those panels.
Auto Explosion does great work and I've used them in the past, but they always seem overbooked. I've also heard good things about MOB Works. M1 Autobody, I've heard a lot of good AND bad things.

I go to "Prestige Too" for insurance body work.... near Torrance Blvd and Crenshaw Blvd. I just picked up my Altima from them today (my right mirror got chopped off by someone...) They did a clean job. Paint matches very well too. The door where the mirror hit showed really minor uneven-ness.... it won't be visible to even the most suspicous eyes but I guess I'm picky. I figured that's probably the best anyone can do so I let it go.
I have another shop doing my front lip... got hooked up (not that local).... it's getting painted as we speak. I haven't looked at his work yet but super inexpensive and looks like a dedicated guy. Will see how that goes. PM me for info.
