Most shops want to see the piece first before pricing. Im getting a quote on the Stillen front from a hookup I have. If its decent ill let you know what the price is

PLEEEEASE DO! kid, reason why i havent bought my window spoiler, lip, side skirts and etc...is because the pieces itself is already pretty expensive, then i've HEARD, it cost about $300-400 to paint and then maybe another $100-200 to install it. if a good deal? they will install it for free in the same place as you painted. So i would like to know some spots and prices if possible too.

You can install all these pieces yourself.. spoiler might be a bit more advanced, but sure everything it's pretty much bolt on.

yeah 400 seems a bit steep . I've heard prices from 150-500 on this forum for paint. Most prices I've seen hover around 300. I'm trying to get my stillen front fascia painted and installed as well. I've gotten prices around 300 here but not sure what exactly qualifies a paint shop as great. any thing I should know before haggling with these guys? also LBC - how much for a front fascia at your hicksville shop?

My LI shop does bumpers for 350-400.

Id rather tell you a little bit more, and have them do it for $350, rather then tell you $350 and they say $400 bc of the part...

LOL!Good luck with that matt.... One of the biggest factors in painting large pieces like this with a quality shine is to have a paintroom for it... Dust-free! A piece of pollen that is essentially not visible to the naked eye will cause a very visible blemish in the paint.

ha ha, i guess i am. i mean i have been in queens for a while now.anyways...is this dude serious? cuz cheaper i ever heard was your price $350-400 no joke, and thats the reson why i havent bought my parts yet. im not trying to bu parts expensive already and then pay mah money just to paint and install.i tried lookin around but they always tell me they gotta look at the part and depends of this or that...that or this..is mah annoying.let me know if ya know a cool place for cheap to paint and install. they MUST do a good job, pleeeease.
