Is this a fair price?

i went yesterday to take my bomex front and ww g5 sides/rear for an estimate on painting and install cost. i know the guy there and he said he would give me a deal. he said he can paint and install the front, repaint the sides and rear, and repaint the rear bumper because of some scratches on it all for around $600-700 depending on how long it takes him to install the front bumper. he originally didnt want to install the kit, only paint it because he really isnt that kind of shop, but since i know him, i was able to convince him to install the front for some extra money. i plan on install the g5 sides/rear since that is pretty straight forwad and easy to do. he said he also has to install this bracket thing on the bottom of the front bumper to attach it to the car, does this sound correct to you? i think this is a really good deal, does this sound like a fair deal to you guys? i am going to drop off the car for get get it all done on the 20th, first day of ym spring break, and i should have pics up by the end of the month depending on how long everything takes.

its the g5 sides/rear and the bomex front too. he has to fit and install the front which he said would take some time since he might have to adjust the front bumper a bit. dont forget that the 600-700 is also including the repainting of the rear bumper which is scratched a bit. btw, i am installing the g5/sides rear, he is just installing and fitting the front since i cant do that. do you think thats still overpayed?

well to think about it 600 hundred for everthing that will be a good price but 700 that will be to much i work in a body shop we dont charge that much in ur case 500 install is free ur out the door. if you know the guy ask him for a better price,

Thats a bad price. To paint the front and sides should only cost around 200. I plan on getting the bomex kit from bomex themselves and I hear it is supposed to fit very well. I say test fit the front before dropping the money on having it installed. It may match up very well.

i dont really care. i got some spare cash since i just got a job, it doesnt really matter to me. i want it to be perfect. plus they are reapint the rear too so thats about 100 or so out of the total 600-700. i still think it is a very good deal.

Thats a good deal... i guess. I mean the place that did my paint job quoted me 1500 for installation and paint. I laughed in their face. So now im lookin for a new shop. Not a bad deal, but i could be better. Props on the bomex front.

Peace
