its all about who you know and what you want.. everyplace will be different.. each state is diff.. some places wanted more then others when i was getting my body work and paint done

one place wanted 4grand and they do immaculant work but i figured id mess the car up anyhow. like i did so why pay that much

i got a nice little deal

1700bucks
for
light silver with a fucsca pearl paint
body kit put on and sides and rear molded
middle tail paint matched
mirrors painted

Exactly what Evan said above, but if I were you and seriously thinking about a color swap than I wouldn't have the kit that is getting installed painted right now....that's just a waste of $$$ to paint the kit and than turn around and swap colors, I got a great deal on mine........just gotta look around, I could hook u up if you were in central Florida........Evan wanna make the trip down?

well, how much are you looking at spending? and how long do you not need your car, if you want to be put on the back burner than it's a little cheaper....BUT you get what you pay for......just give me a ball park estimate and how much you want to spend and what color, what body work? etc....
