How much did all of you guys pay to get your kit put on and painted? Before anyone says use the search button I have already tried and it gives me an error every time i click search. My kit just came in and I will be paying to get it put on and paint and was just wondering how much you guys paid.


Thanks,
Zach

How difficult will it be for me to install it myself. I want it to look good, im afraid if i do it, it wont be perfect. Im not very experienced in any of that.

You can try doing this yourself, but don't expect it to be easy on your first try thats all. FG kits dont really just bolt right on. You might need some tools, dremel, sandpaper, heat-gun etc.. to get things to fit. The best bet is to put the kit on but don't force anything on the car if it doesnt want to go in, may cause damages, but then again FG is easily fixable. When you start to install you can email or PM me. and I'll walk you through the steps if your having any trouble. Good Luck!

Regarding paint, depends if the kit is ready to paint meaning the surface is nice and smooth, no budges or anything. So the paint shop doesnt charge you extra for their labor to smooth things down. Paint shop in the east coast can charge 1000+... its really up to the shop..so you need to do some researching. Go shop to shop and get an estimate till you find a good price. But the best price doesnt mean the best quality, so you have to take a look at the cars they worked on and see if the price has value in it. If you guys were in cali my paint guys do a good job for about $400-600 to paint a car including part engine bay, door jams, part trunk.
