Stillen kit pricing

While pricing a paint and installation job for my stillen kit, i've gotten quoted $600, $650, $1000, and $1500 separately from 4 different places! just for a paint and install! and the guy who told me $1500 said that paying anything under 1000 would be a mistake and they'd do a terrible job.. am i crazy or should i be paying this much??!?

most shops are around the sub 1000 range. 1500 is just pricey, IMO.

how much did you pay for the kit and where'd you get it from? i was thinking about throwing one onto my car, but there are a few things i would like to get done to it before i buy one. we should have another mini-meet one of these days in the breslin lot. i'm always in my car TUTH's 11-12. good luck with the install -> peace.

You guys are getting ripped off!

I got mine prepped (b/c I bought the purple kit off the Kenwood Maxima), painted & installed for $500 CAD ... which is about $320 USD ... I wonder why it's so expensive down there?

Do you all know of any shops in New Jersey that is resonable, because I am getting some rediculous prices for paint and install. Thanks!!
