| Good and fair priced place to paint and install type R kit
Hey revscene,
I've been looking to get my type r kit put on my teggy for a while now.
This includes.. Rear bumper caps, front lip, and sideskirts.
I was quoted $1500 from a local shop in Richmond for paint and install, which seemed quite high.
Please let me know if you guys have any other places that are good.
Even better if you guys could also include what you did there and how much it cost if applicable!
Thanks guys,

Oem or aftermarket pieces? Paint could be between 150-250 for each piece (rear valences 1 pc) so 600-1000 total. Plus install, which is pretty easy though, if they're aftermarket pieces they might need some work/adjustment to fit well.

They're aftermarket pieces.. Should I get it painted by them but do install myself?

Why don't you mock them up on your car now and see how well they fit? Some will need some work with a heat gun. You can always fit them yourself with a little heat if you're not afraid and have the shop paint.

Posted via RS Mobile | I think instead of asking an internet forum you should start calling body shops for quotes...

prep body panels if you know how, to save cost
bring it to a reputable shop
paint
bubble wrap
bring it home
install yourself

If you have a garage in your house, make it a DIY.

What do you want? 1500 isn't a lot of money. prep, prime, sand, prep again, colour match w/ paint tech if needed, base coat, base coast, base coat, clear coat, clear coat, sand and buff, fit, mount, shape, mount, fit, shape, mount. Clean.
Or if you want paint flaking off because you went through a puddle too fast...that's your call.
