Is this a good price?

I just received a quote for $300 to paint my 5th gen Base side skirts, rear, and a Type S lip. Is that a good price?

OK good. Just wanted to make sure. They actually gave me two quotes. I asked him first how much it would cost to paint just the side and rear skirt and he said $250. Then I asked him, "What if I were to get a front lip?" He told me $300.

Hey, I'm in Sugar Land too! It's called Sport Performance off of Murphy Rd. Just take Lexington to Murphy, left on Murphy, then look for a little side street on the right called Stafford Run and make a right.

Yeah, they've been there for a while. The manager is a really nice guy. Great customer service. I had a friend that got a spoiler painted there a few years ago and they did a really good job, so I decided to try it out myself.

I went ahead and just got my sides and rear painted for $250. Dropped them off this morning. They said they would be done late afternoon. I'll take pics later.

thats an excellent price quote from a paintshop with good rep.

I usually see paintshop wanting to charge 100~130 bucks a piece.
