Ballpark figure but how much would it cost to get a bodykit painted and put on my xb? Roughly?

Depends how big the kit is, and who you go to. For a lip kit, I'd say $200-300?

A nice lip kit for xB is around 500, paint and install is another 250
So you looking at around 750 for nice complete kit.

Or you can go with the bumper replacement... replica will run you like 600 plus 400 for paint and installation... 1000 bucks

The kits I was looking at were about 500-600 for front/sides/back. I figured paint and installation would run me another 300-400. I guess my estimates were in the facinity.(sp)

Is there anything particularly I should look for when looking for a place to install this and paint this?

make sure the bodyshop is familiar with whatever material your bodykit is made of. check out their work ahead of time to make sure it is up to your standards.

as for install, if you are able, i'd rather do it myself... bodyshops tend to use a lot of glue and/or sheet metal screws when they install kits...

Well as with everything else on my car I would like to do it myself just cause I like being able to say that :) I have no idea though how a body kit fits on. I assume you have to make your own holes for screws etc etc.
