i'm considering getting the RS1 lip kit and was going to call a few bodyshops tomorrow in the north orange county area as well as the long beach area to start getting quotes. i know you get what you pay for so i'm not looking for the cheapest, but rather a reasonable price. for those who have had them painted (and installed) how much did you pay? and would you recommend the shop that painted yours? if so, please list the shop. i have access to a lift and was thinking of pitching the idea to my friend who works at a shop to help with the install. can anyone give me an approximate install time as well?

(i did a search but came up short when it came to so. cal locations)

 

best place = MIDNIGHT GARAGE.

sorry, i have no information on them, but im sure someone will chime in.

 

PM SEXB909, he had his box painted at Import Image/Midnight Garage, they did a really good job, im waiting to do my lip there, but im holdin off since Troy from 5axis is gonna produce the 5axis kit =P

 

or you can check out Santini auto & body shop.
they do a good job.
i had them paint my indash/engine cover/intake/ and it all came out nice.

714-891-8895 ask for nick or pete.

p/m me if you still need my help. Also what area are you located at?

 

Eckhart Auto Body in Chatsworth

or AR Autobody in Palmdale

 

im in long beach.

 

well you can hit up my friends at Idesigns/midnight garage, but it might be a mission to drive to Walnut/Diamond Bar. But they do great work. Its up to you.

 

so far quotes have been:
---------------------------
$950 Santini's
$650 Silva's
$XXX Westminister Auto Body (wouldnt quote over phone)

SEXB909 has the best deal so far, not sure if he would want me to publish, but it blows the socks off these other ones!

Wow.. I just got mine done for $200 over here in PA.

 

lol. the hood price? i like that

damn Amanda, thats a nice price. seems like everywhere but CALI is less expensive

 

what about MOB works?

 

OOOOOOOOO, dope shop. forgot about mentioning that. I aint got no pull there. they painted my civic back in the day.

 

Revival of a dead thread but I came from there today.

Quoted me $500-600 to paint my bumper -_-x

 

I can paint that , but call this guy in (310)3101367 his shop is ni Carson name is Gemo.

 

Santini is insanly expenisve, but they do really good work. They quoted my dad $20,000 to 2 tone paint his 55 Chevy. They said they were going to strip the old paint completly off and start from scratch. That would be the only way they'd do it. Needless to say he went somewhere else, and got a really good spray for 1/4 of the price.
