Default Fighting Prices With Shaved Doors

Anyone know the proper price range I can wrestle a body shop owner into shaving my door handles and repainting them...

The guy I met today said 900 and I just thought I should have unbuckled my pants and turned around instantly. That seems a little intense but common...900...My uncle knows a guy like 60 miles outta the way that'll do it for 400 but I don't know if I want to make the trip.

Anyones two cents please

400 sounds about right

Maybe he just didn't want to do it...which was weird since all of the cars he had there where show cars with lambo doors and such. I just want poppers (no lambo).

If you can get a quality job done for $500 less, then I think a 60 mile drive is well worth it.

well if they shave ur door handles they kinda have to repaint the whole door and since its almost impossible to match certain colors like black cherry in my case they had to fade or blend the color... but white shouldnt be taht bad but still..gl maybe that guy quoted ur 900 shaved and painted...im not entirely sure though
