how much would it cost for me to mold a kit and fender flares onto my car and get a good paint job? im about to buy a kit and have no idea how much to expect for the molding/painting. thanks for any help

here's an exact estimate-----$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

yeah that's right, a lot of dollas! probably $400 to paint flares and skirt and also to blend them in. to mold them you might be looking at the same price maybe a lil less. i'm just taking a stab at it from the cost of general body work i've seen.

Molding the flares will be expensive, especially molding them into the kit.

It will cost a lot but it is worth it.
Body Kit= $600-$800
Install = $100-$300
Molding sides= $200-$400
Flares= $350-$500
Molding Flares= $400-$1000
Paint whole car= $1500-$3000 depending on the shop, quality, and any pearls or extra stuff. Add another $500 to paint inside and out when changing colors. Try to get some hookups or part sponsarships.

These were the quotes i got when pricing all this stuff from various body shops.

If you have a lot of time, you could do the install and molding yourself. All you need is fiberglass, resin, bondo, and sand paper. But the flares will be really hard because they are universal, but the sides aren't to hard.

What I would do. Get a turbo with that money. Looks are nothing if you cant back it up. And our cars look so damn sexy without the body kits. Just my opinion....If you like looks, its your car so go for it.
