About how much??, body kits and all......... Options

[Eddo456]

Hey everyone, just wondering how much totally in the end would a body kit cost, after purchasing it, and having the work done to it, just curious and all, and does it need to be done by a professional body person, or could anyone do it? just curious, ohh yeah, say the body kit is under 1,000.

Basic knockoff body kit: ~$500 to ~$900
Shipping & Handling: ~$150
Paint & Installation: ~$250
Paint & Installation with good prep work: ~$500
Paint & Installation with good prep work and molded: ~$650

Anyone could pretty much install a kit. As far as fitting it and installing it *properly* is concerned, I always recommend that people have this done by a shop. Especially since most people purchase knockoffs, rather than the authentic kits.

Would it be better if i got an authentic body kit, or are the knockoffs good too?

The Authentic ones will cost a lot of money because they have to be imported and other like Veilside will cost u about $3,500 bucks just to get not includeing Install. So it all depends if u know a good Body Shop to make the Non-Authentic to fit or are u willing to pay 2xs more money and get one that fits right off the bat but still needs paint and install.

Also, What is the molding and how benificial is it to have it done

$2,000 total!! kit+paint+install professionally at a shop that intalls body kits. My kit was glued on with this special glue to insure that there would be no gaps and that the kit would fit perfectly.
