I finally got my car back from the body shop today and my bill was 400 bucks to paint and install the ww g5 ground kit. is that rediculous or what? i haven't paid them yet, so i'm wondering if i shouldn't go complain. isn't it around $200-300 to get them painted? at least that's what i thought. it looks sweet, but it took them forever. i'm thinking it's their first experience with something like that. i'm kinda mad.

That seems about right to me. Around here, (orlando, fl) to get a decent paint job by a decent shop, its about $400 for the whole kit.

That's not bad at all considering some of the prices I've been quoted.

$400 is pretty cheap, even though it is just lips. Around here People have been quoted around 6-700 usually

If they did a good job and the paint is good, Id say you got a freggin deal. What are you smoking?

400 is a deal, considering paint and labor, paint for our cars aint cheap.

im getting my kaminari kit painted and they said they're charging me 300 at the most. i'm thinking about 200 though. it might be cheap cuz they're real good friends though. so lucky me?

what?! don't tell me you handed the shop the key to your car without even knowing the cost . always get the estimate in writing.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

I had a dealership bodyshop around here try to quote me for about $1500. I told him that he could kiss my ***, and I left [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

400 for a kit is quite good.

especially a polyurethane one

that's shaddy. did he give you a reason why the bill was more than the estimate? anyways, you still got a good deal.

Thats a good deal, if its a complete WW kit....most shops will charge 500-700 to paint, and Honda charges 120$ to install usually.
