your kit should cost more to paint and install than an RS kit since it is a full bumper replacement. Pricing fluctuates in your location also
I A ALSO IN HIS SITUATION.I HAVE A 5GEN LUDE AND WANT THE BW KIT. COME ON GUYS HOW MUCH TO PAINT AND INSTLL. PEEPS TELL ME BTWEE 500 AND 750
why don't you guys stop asking people on this board and start calling around bodyshops asking them yourselves?

Also you should install your kit yourselves...it is not very difficult.

Call a body shop. It depends on how the kit fits. If it requires LOTS of fitting, it can cost over $1k to get the kit installed and painted. If it fits good, and you want to use cheap paint, you could probably get it done for $200.

Good paint is expensive. I wouldn't be surprised to see Glasurit or Spies Hecker cost over $400 just for the paint.

Good body shops that have good body men, painters, and equipment aren't cheap!

install the kit yourself and get it painted at a shop. full BW kit maybe around $500?

Even if you install the kit, I would suggest that you have the parts painted off the car. It's hard to get into all the little crevices while the bumpers are on the car. Not to mention that it would look cleaner if the entire bumper is painted (back and front).

thanx gys that helped are these prices around the bay area of what pices vary in different places
I had my body kit painted and installed for $450. Look for an auto repair shop if you're going w/ factory colors-you'll save money.

but don't auto repair shops usually do poorer quality work than a shop that deals with us aftermarket folks?
