Is this a good price quote for a whole lot of body work?

Alright let me give you the list of body repairs:
-Front Bumper repainted/realigned
-Stillen front lip repainted
-New grille, front corner/bumper lights installed
-Front R Fender realigned/repainted
-Passenger sideview mirror installed/painted
-Passenger side rear door pulled out/repainted
-Passenger sideskirt re-touched
-Passenger side front door repainted
-Passnger side Quarter panel repainted/touched up
-Rear skyline bumper re-installed(removing old damaged one) and repainted
-Trunk dent pulled out
Major damages are on Front right corner(bumper/fender), rear passenger door, and rear bumper is demolished(fiberglass).

This is a well trusted body shop who has worked on my car before, flawless work on my original body kit installation, perfect matching paint and flush(original nissan paint), custom molded skyline bumper into quarter panel, and always touches up all little nicks and minor scratches on my car whenever it is in his shop as well as a full detail job. He is an aquaintance of mine through a friend, so he gives me a pretty good price.
You guys let me know, all of that for $1100 flat, what you think?

That seems like a pretty good price to me. The question I have is: Will the paint match and how is the paint in general? Is it time for a full paint job?

i agree. that does seem really good. i had some minor work done when i got bumped in the rear left quater panel/rear bumper and it cost $800 to remove dent, paint, and touch up small scratch on front bumper.

That seems like a pretty good price, but like rmurdoch said, you are getting a lot of little areas repainted, is the paint going to match up? how much more would it be just to paint the rest of the car?

Your getting a Damn good deal, usually for the parts you need painting would cost a little less than that. Make sure the paint matches.
