My idea. check it out give input

Ok i love the gold crazy color of my car because nobody else has the special gold color in ym area. plus there are other totally perverted reasons but i'll not get into those now.

I am planning on getting a bodykit for my 7--i have decided and am now saving, i am getting the knightsports wing and am having my engine rbuilt and streetported to a large extent. How much will it cost for my paint to get matched nicely---not from MAACO or what ever the hell cheap places may be called.

And any ideas on how much it could cost to get my interior carpet redone in black along with the seats?--seatcovers for now though. i'm just trying to get my cost figured out so i only need work as much as i need to. THANX all! Input is appriciated. Thanks again,
Peace

Do the interior youself, save some money.
Victoria British sells carpet sets, and 1A Auto sells em on ebay. Costs like < $200 for that.

No clue on the painting. Shouldn't be more than $100, if it is a stock color.

find a friend with paintbooth connections. That's why we have local rx-7 clubs. You can ask around and rent some paintbooth time

$300 to paint a small piece of fiberglass?

Hes getting the wing painted, not the car. Read more carefully.

$300 minium is what I would expect from my body shop. Frankly, I'd be looking at around $500 to get a front bumber done, about the same for the rear. So since he is installing a body kit, I would assume that it would be around $500 at least.

For a good high quality paint job expect to pay quite a bit.

Edit: It may just be worth it to repaint the car the original color again. I dont know about yours, but most rx7's I see have faded paint and its not going to match. Plus it will look way better.

Hey guys thanks for the help. I think yellow on any of my cars would make me look like a goofball. I think it'd be sorta unique to get the new pimp bodykit the original gold color.
Yes i would also be getting the whole car repainted to be all shiny and pretty and i know that'll be a little spendy if i want to get it done right.

I gotta head for bed now. I have a date tomorrow and i'm making it a point to get some ***. PEACE!
