My estimate to install/paint my full stillen aero kit is $275. This may be a bit lower than normal, because they put a motor in my truck last year for like $2k. Hope this helps!

no not the stillen front clip, a whole new kit, like the kamanari kit or the skyline kit

I assume you mean either the Kamikaze/Ninja/Sarona kit or the Skyline kit that doesn't exist. Definitely look into the Sarona kit before buying it, from fitment to quality and durability I've heard nothing but bad things. And no one has even seen the Skyline kit that was supposedly coming out last spring so I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

As for installing and painting...I think the $275 that Maxima-2 got was an inside deal. I would expect it to be more around the $400+ range for a complete install and paint. My $.02.

thanks, but i dont think i have that kind of money. i was hopeing it would be cheaper, but if it costs that much to get it painted, it would just sit at my house and never get done. i was just thinking about it.

And you say that based on what? Because there is already 1 person in this thread who had theirs done for $275 and I've personally been quoted $400 for an installation and paint on mine. There are tons of people on this board who have had theirs done for under $500. It's all about where you go...if you walk into any local body shop as an unknown customer and ask them I'm sure they will want over $1000 to do it. But if you browse the Regional Forums on this site and go to your area there is an Installer sticky. That's your best bet to find people that a) know what they're doing as far as a Maxima goes and b) might give you price break since you're a fellow member of the ORG.

thanks i'll look into it today. my car is in a shop right now because i went off the road in the rain into a drainage ditch and hit the end of it. you can imagine what it did to the car. the front right was torn off the car and 7,000 dollars total. so since i havn't been driving anywhere i have been saving money. so i will look into it thanks.
