And I will post pics as soon as I can should be thursday... this is for a everything the front, rear, and sides plus install so I thought that was about right... i got a good deal at Phasenine for the kit $300 shipped just bad service so i figure the whole kit 300 + 600 paint and install = 900 for all this ****... so is that Bad?

well I have a lip kit on my 93 eg hatch. I paid $100 to get it painted and installed. So IMO I think you're paying a bit too much. Even $600 to paint a full bodykit is a little too much. I paid 300$ for my full body kit to be painted and installed.

That is extremely high. I paint all the time and they are basically charging you about 500$ in labor. Paint is no more than 100$ if that. But i guess its too late if they have already started. If there is one flaw at all i would Bitch because of the price you paid it should be flawless.

full wingest west lip kit WELL and PROPERLY painted cost me $$450.00.
I had a "friend" paint the rear lip for me for cheapo 100 bucks and now its cracking to hell and spider viens all over that shyte.. Dont go cheap, even if you pay a bit more it just gives you ever right to bitch and get it fixed if it peelsor cracks.
