I got my whole Blitz kit installed for $150. Install them yourself and them take them off, have them painted, and then install them again. It only takes like 7 screws to install them. 2 in front fender, 2 in rear fender and 3 in door jam. It is pretty easy. And check Cyan's site for more instructions.

Ya most shops charge 150 for complete kit install, or 50 bucks for the side skirts. Sometimes side skirts may cost 75 bucks to install if its harder and doesn't fit too well.

As long as they fit it's pretty easy to install them your self, but if they have to get molded then it's hard. My blitz skirts were twisted up by the scoop so I had a body shop mold them and put them on, they epoxied the scoop to the body so I can't get them off.

Yea i would say get them molded, i had mine painted for $100 and installed for $70 but had a gap over the vent where it kinda bowed out but if i could do it again i wouldve just had them mold em on...

I have one other suggestion for you on looks. Take out the littl eplastuic thing in hole next to the fog lights. car looks a lot better with them out. But I agree with the rest do it yourself.
