Sarona body kit Install price

Im getting my body kit put on this month. The Sarona kit for a 97 maxima and I was wondering how much it should cost to have it painted and molded not just installed on my car. The one shop in buffalo I spoke with said it would be between $1200-$1500 dollars to mold, paint it,is this reasonable or excessive. please help as I am not accustomed to body work.

So even after people warned you that you might be getting a sub-par product, you're still going to go Sarona, huh?

Sub-par in terms of quality and fitment issues. But if you have it already, I guess you might as well put it on.

And pictures don't mean jack ... McDonalds shows pictures of a hamburger where the beef is spilling out of the bun ... and what do I get? Two buns with a tiny piece of brown shriveled day old meat.

Re: Sarona body kit Install price

To mold the kit on the car, that's a good price. But if your car isn't primarily a show car, reconsider getting it molded. It's not the strongest kit out there, and if you crack it with it molded, you're looking at a huge repair cost.
