hey about how much should i pay to get a reiger body kit painted and installed? i bought the unpainted kit and just wanted to get a heads up before getting ripped off byt the body shop.

thanks

this is something you should be able to install yourself. there really shouldn't be too much fitement issues so it should be just a bolt off bolt on affair. painting should however be done by a pro(duh), it should cost about $100 or so depending on who you see and the cost of the paint. is it pre-primed?

 

Umm as far as I know the Reiger front bumper is anything but a bolt on kit.

 

uh yea i just had the rieger front installed and it was not a oem replacement and greenday where the hell do u live that u can get a full kit painted for a 1oo bucks i dont think u should reply to post if u dont know what u are talking about

 

Materials and paint will run you over $100 in a modern society, glue alone for wings is about $60.

 

Also, if you have a black car for example, paint will definately be faded, so making a match will be a little tough. You should probably look into restoring the paint on parts that aren't being painted. Just saw a very informative article on this in this month's EUROPEAN CAR. I'm sure its up on their website. www.europeancarweb.com

 

i dunno retail prices, im just friends with a paint guy and thats what he said it would cost, so yeah its prolly more with markup and all. paint really isn't that expensive either, you could get a quart for like $50 that would match what the paint is now(faded a lil) and if the kit is pre primed then its just clean and spray, really shouldn't cost much.

 

alright guys i have decided to go with the bodykit and attepmt to install it my self i got the kit Painted and shipped for 1350...... If anyone has ANY tips or instuctions that can help me i would be most gratefull. please help me with anything you think i could use

thanks
chris

 

good luck

 

its that hard huh?

so maybe i should wait and get it installed for the extra 250 bucks
