Well where does he ask. People have asked alot worse on HT...Seems like Paint and Body would be the best section...

To be honest with you not alot of bodyshops will touch a a bodykit. You can usually estimate it by taking whatever materials are and multiplying by 2. That will give you your total. Meaning whatever materials cost is usually the same it cost to have it installed(right). Just do some searching around. Ask all your local shops. Your best bet is installing it by yourself or with a friend that has done it before. Either way good luck.

The best thing to do would be drive around to a few local body shops and get estimates. You likely won't get an accurate one on the i-net.

when i had a xenon (which is urethane) kit put on my 02 civic to properly fit the kit with a set of z3 fenders it cost me 1500 for them to blend in the fenders to the side of the car as well as paint the kit, wing, and grill. you get what you pay for.

If your new I wouldnt advise it. To do it right you have to revit/bolt them onto the car. The front/rear bumper is alittle easier because you mount them on the stock holes made for your bumpers. But the side skirts/door caps are alittle harder.

Also 99.9 percent of bodykits are not going to fit right and are going to take some modification to do.

DIY like all the other ricers...Zipties and duct tape DUHH!! I hope you got your 4" exhaust tip with it otherwise you wasted your monies!

jk

From what I've read theres a lot of prep that goes into a bodykit. The sanding and stuff...hell...even a used OEM bumper takes a couple hours to prep perfectly. Then there's paint...

it's definitely not gonna run ya cheap...not under a grand... at least if you want it "done right"
