Body Kits - Installing & Painting

For those who have body kits on their cars... what did you pay to have it painted and installed? If MaxTuningUSA ever comes out with the AE Kit for my '03 (yes, I emailed 'em) I'd want to put one on... just wondering what that would run me.

Thanks.

How good was the paintjob for the Sarona for 800. I was told to get it done right so everything fits well you need to do a lot of cusomizing you need to customize it to fit well together and the price i got for:
Installing the Sarona Kit with the stock side markers built into it
Installing Sarona Fenders is 4300.

I mean i dunno. But 800 sound incredibly cheap. How is the kit holding up.

to just install and paint it for 4300 youre getting ripped off. have you gone to any other bodyshops to get a quote?? look around. dont just settle for one place. my kit held up good for a year and a half until i got hit from behind by some guy..and i made him repay for everything again. the front bumper has paint chips on it..took a road trip down to north carolina and stuff...so yeah.. i need a cuople more coats on it prolly.

bring it to a good place...TOPS 1600 to paint and install it. pm nj34..(jason) i forget the rest of his org name..hes in the Northeast section.. he gotta good custom trunk job done on his car for a pretty good price.

Sarona/Kombat/ViS body cost me 1071 USD to modified, paint and installed.

I bought the kit off www.Grounddynamics.com and it sucks. Side skirts are too short, rear bumper flare out too much. Luckily, the body shop was anexpert, they remade the body kit and installed perectly. now it's 100% fitment.
