That sounds cheap if you ask me, sorry to say that. But to cut, weld, do any sort of body work, prime properly then paint both quarters properly there is around 200 - 300 in materials alone, that doesn't leave much for labour which means something wont get done right. I do a lot of custom paint and have done rust repair on a few accord and civics and it aint fast or cheap. I'm not trying to be a dick at all, I hope you don't take it that way, just people really understimate what it takes to do this kind of thing the right way.

i just got both my sides done.

guy/friend did both my ek quarters cut out and welded in new metal quarters and repainted the whole quarter on both sides so no blending of paint need.

he also fixed and repainted my rear bumper

oh ya he picked it up monday afternoon and was done wed night.

all for....500 bucks

it looks amazing i found 2 small runs thats it...but i cant complain for half a new car for 500.

625 is cheap if you ask me.
