Ok so after my accident, I had this shop fix my car and they did a good quick job on it. Insurance paid for all but my deductible so I wasn't really paying for ALL the damages, 13k worth [yes i know]. Anyway thats not the point BUT I received my Stillen rear corners last friday right...I later on drop them off at the same shop, ask for a rough estimate but they couldn't give me one, said they would "take care of me". So I said sure just call me when you have a price. No call back so I went in today to pick them up and they never painted them [thankfully] but they quoted me a price of $407 to paint them!!!!!! Now for the record I DID wanted them to paint them a little different, like with some black in there but nothing crazy.

How much have you paid for yours to get painted??!!? I plan to install them myself also. This is riduclous, I paid $148 shipped for these!

MAYBE, MAYBE $150 for them to get painted... It should be more like $100 though...
