In alot of these trunks the price vary due to the amount of materials you use. Im sure anyone that has messed with this stuff knows that Rage Body Filler and fiberglass supplies can get very expensive. Also the 1/2" plexi I use cost me $180 a sheet. Not to mention the paint on all of these cost ruffly $300-$600 depending on how big they are.
You have to think right from the start on a full fiberglass job the supplies alone are $1000 w/ paint.
Now alot of time I do these and people get them painted themselves thats fine as well.
But for instance my xB with the red and black trunk would cost ruffly $600 - 800 to do from someone, considering it does hold my airride components under it ( 2 compressors 5 gallon tank and vavles all under the plexi in the center). It is also a direct drop in. There is no screws holding it down. I can just lift it out and put it right into someone elses trunk no poblem.
The TC with the motorized amp rack would cost ruffly $1000 $1400. The box is and amp rack have carbon fiber vinyl and 1/2" plexi on top of it, combined with the actuator your looking at $400 in materials right there, noot to mention the heat form vinyl, screws, glue, vinyl dye, seal for the plexi, sliders for the amp rack. bondo, wood. So Supplies alone on that cost ruffly $600- $700 and you guys can imagine how long these things take to build. If all I make is $300 on a job that takes a week to do thats kinda crappy. I can make $300 on 1 remote start/ alarm and that takes 4 hours.
Just trying to give you guys ruff estiamates on all this stuff. I will have my webpage up soon with more pics of each car becuase it will go more into detail on each. These is alot of things you dont see as far as quality of the jobs. The back of each thing are very clean and show worthy all the wiring is done show quality and I have pics of all of them. Your not jst playing for a trunk or kick panels or interior work, you would be paying for quality and show worthy work.
All of these cars on here have placed at many shows and SQ, SPL competition and I stand behind my work 100%. Except my car of course cause I never have free time to do things the way I really want lol.
