Good Deal?
So here's the deal, i've been having this kit in my closet for months now. It's a type-b front, rs rear and aero sides. All of it needs to be painted so today i'm just curious as to how much this would all cost. So i call my friend up whos friends w/ this shop in wilmington. I take the kit down there and the guy says he can paint and install the entire kit for $400. My front needs some repair but he says he'll take care of everything for $400 and he'll even mold the kit to my bumper and repaint the entire front and rear bumper
Everything needs to be painted SSM which i know is hard to match i've seen some other cars he's worked on and he does good work besides he only works on hondas and acuras. He said he'd repaint my spoiler for $20 too if i wanted which i think i'll do anyways. So is this a good deal
?

I wouldn't mind a new paint job. But I think i'll stick it out with the SSM for a little while longer, I just wanna get this kit on it's been sitting for months gathering dust.
How much would this unsually cost? He said he'd do everything for $400 but maybe I could talk him down a little bit more.

damn $400?...when u get into the autobody/tech industry u can do things for so cheap that gettin that molded and painted is a waste of money especially if u can do it yourself...sometime if the person is willing to come by where i am i can show them how to mold and stuff heh
