Just curious...

Is $350 a good price for the whole installation and painting of a whole body kit? I asked the dude and he said that they'll charge me $350 for the installation and painting and that if I get springs done with them that they'll give me a good deal. Seems like a really good price and they seem to do a good job. My friend and I saw some pictures of cars that they did and they were also taking apart cars and painting them down and such. They also deal with hydraulics and shnit too... One of my auto body guys that I know is going to give me a name for another body shop that will hook me up too, but I was wondering if $350 was a good price seeing as how everyone else is paying like $500 for the whole kit to be painted and installed.

o yeah... and not to sound racist or antyhing, but they're Mexican too so they should do a good job. Seems like they do alot of cars because alot of people were parked outside in the parking lot.

they should... looks like they've did other body kits correctly before in the pictures... and if they don't I'll just take it back to them and have them re-do it.

Ofcourse it is gonna be a good job, there Mexican. , I love my culture. Give it 3 months and your body kit will fall off. Haha. J/P Good price. If you have seen their work on other cars before and you like it then you should get a good paint job.

I have always followed the phrase of "You get what you pay for" I got a qoute from a top reputable company for about $800 painted and installed, But I will not be able to see any difference in quality or shade from the car to the kit. Plus all the warranties and when/if it cracks it gets fixed for free. So, I am willing to pay the extra dollar to get competition/show qaulity plus all the little add-ins perks.
