for a 4 piece kit to be prepped, sanded, primed, painted, and installed, that is a very good deal.

How is that a rip off? Most places around here charge almost 600 bucks just for a prep and paint on a 4 piece kit. and that doesnt include filling or repairing any pieces OR installing the kit. Yea you could save some money by installing the kit yourself once its done painting, but most body shops/ paint shops charge 75 to 120 bucks an hour for general labor (i.e. installing a body kit.)

That all depends on where you are located. Around here, the best body shop, and probably some of the best work in the country it would cost $500 tops.

In Chicago where Omega and I both live theres a place called Bridgeport. They did a half dozen people's car I kno and they are looked upone VERY GOOD.
My friend's 00 Eclipse full kit (blitz) was 1500. The sides on the blitz are fiberglass and you need to mold it to the panel in the insdie of your door so its very very difficult cuz if you close your door you dont want the kit smashin, it's also fiberglass.

THEY DID A HELLUVA JOB!
