Default Average Cost for BodyKit Paint and Installation

I'm planning on putting a bodykit on my xa, I was wondering around how much is the average price for a paint job for the front n rear bumper and sideskirts and the price for installation.

thanks

I have the Kenstyle lip kit on my xA, and I payed $600 to get the front lip, rear lip, and both sideskirts painted.

My dad and I installed the lip kit.

Lip kits and body kits are totally different my dad and i installed mine and it was seriously 40+ hours of fitting and modifying then paint then final install, granted I didn't have to pay for anything but paint and the kit but his boss quoted a Mini Cooper 1800 + kit cost + paint

I was quoted $2800 on the low end and $5500 for the high end. There is good work and then bad work. Find a place you trust and get ready to pay at least $2500 for the whole job....plus your kit.

Come on! I find it hard to believe people are so super duper at painting and installing the kit for $5,500. MAYBE INCLUDING the kit and or painting the entire car but that price for just color matching a body kit and bolting it on? nah, I can't imagine needing to pay that much or even close to it on an xA.

A new BMW? yeah I can see that, maybe...

No criticism intended BTW. You did make phone calls and such.

if you pay more then $1500-$1000 to paint a kit and have it installed then your an idiot!!! unless you have some MAJOR modifications or a one of a kind color or something along that line.
