[Mike]

I was curious as to how much you guys paid for your bodykit installation and paint because I'm ordering the 404kit next week and I have no idea how much it's gonna cost to install and paint

thnx in advance!

Im with you BBoy - I was quoted 2000 to put on and paint and around 700 just to paint...But if they are looking for the cheap way out they could prep the kit themselves and have a maaco paint it and then put it on themselves...save a lot more money that way...

I personally think a lot of those prices sound low. My kit was $500. I did all of the work on the car (fixed all the dings, dents, key marks, shaved side markers and welded up the holes for the old spoiler and put on the new one, and the custom hood vent thingee.) I had a bodyman quote me about $1000 to do the hood alone. I spent around $400 on the paint materials, and about $400 for the guy to paint it all. And that was a deal too. I had to paint all of the door jams and stuff to get the price down that low.

You can spend a lot on bodywork and paint. Do it yourself. You'll save money and have some fun too
