ok i decided to fuck it, im tired of playin with it and i want it to look good, so where is a body shop that i can trust? i got an estimate before from an import shop to install a full body kit for $300 this shouldnt be as bad so i figure $100

the best paint shop around my area is charging me 650 to re-do my front, fit it better than the gay body shop b4, etc and install blitz type 2's. No gaps anywhere either. This shop is very skilled. They have molded 2 diamantes and molded the full kit, front, sides, and rear and they are both daily driven. NOT A SIGN of the front molds even trying to crack free. They are very good with the quality, matching, and durability from what I've seen, so I am willing to pay out the ass for that. Chances are if you pay 300 for a full kit, you are gonna end up with paint chipping off and any fitment issues won't be fixed. Maybe not, but a lot of the cheaper body shops have great deals b/c they are desperate for business. Sometimes u just get lucky tho. Ask around your area and ask to see some work. Find out how long the stuff has held up, etc.

Do you mean $1000 instead of $100?

I was quoted a full kit to run me about $800-1200 for install. This is the same place that did my front in the pic. Fits better than my stocker

Yeah it depends on if you mean install or paint and install. Installation of a full body kit (just drilling holes, no custom fiberglass) is typically 150 and up. Painting and installing a full body kit without a lot of custom fiberglass/bondo work is usually 700 and up. Modifying the kits to fit would be an extra 100 to 200 if the kits don't fit good and require a lot of work. Figure anything under 850 painted and installed for a full kit is good if they use PPG or Dupont or other name brand paint.
