****ed Off Need Opinions

I got the sarona kit and their fenders. When I went to a good body shop to get an estimate they told me 4300 to do all the work fenders,side skirts,bumpers. R they jacking me or is that really how much it costs to do a good job like that?

I would go to a few other body shops and see if you can get a better quote.

They are screwing you - maybe try a small independent shop.
When I wrecked my '02 Sierra, it had a whole new front end and WITH PARTS (including a steel cowl-induction hood and billet grille) it was only like $2900 - and here you already are giving them the parts it sounds like. I don't see why they couldn't paint and install for $1500-$2000.

Sounds like the shop thinks the install/fitting everything will be a pain in tha as$ so youll probably go somehwere else

man find someone who attends a votech school and drop your **** off
for a day or two- throw a few hundred to the teacher and supply the
materials-and he'll make sure its done right- the lifespan of
most aftermarket paintwork is like 3- 5 years anyway- specially on
those plastics
