After drooling and day dreaming over this Yellow Celica on the Home Page I got curious on how much would it cost to get a kit installed like that, with the moldings and everything. I am not talking about the price of the kit but just how much would you think the Installer would charge? thanks, -Brandon --------------------  |

That's a good question for some competant body shops in your area. Go to some shops, ask if they can do it, ask if you can see some of the work they've done, and ask for some estimates.

That yellow one has some custom sideskirts. That alone is gonna cost you a pretty penny, but I don't know how much.

Molding isnt THAT much more work, all ur doing is filling in the cracks, if you know how to use bondo you can mold ur own stuff.

its alot more than bondo work if you want to do it right, you have to actually mold the skirt to the car with glass or it will crack.

its all relative as to where you are located and what kind of shop you go to. my friend paid 3K for a show installation at a performance shop (club conceptz) on a full molded blitz kit, spring and strut/shock installation, and wing install.

Akimbo, I LOVE your avatar. Anyways, not custom sideskirts, they're one of the more common Supra sideskirts, and are the ones I'm getting when I decide to start saving money for my kit. If you wanna see 'em, www.cyberbestbuy.com --they're listed as Supra MKIV TS Sideskirts. I read on an earlier post that someone was quoted $400 to have them modified and molded on, plus the price of other body parts.. but you'll really just have to look around. My setup (hopefully), will be those sideskirts with Invader front/rear, CF hood, and the Arising I spoiler (the flip-up, no posts one). Just a ****e load of money, it won't be for a year or so. -Brian |
