I wanna get a bodykit for my FB, and to make it look good i will also get it repainted. How much do u think a shop would charge to install my CP Racing Wide Body kit, and repaint the car a different color. I want the engine housing area painted also, along with inside the back hatch so it actaully looks good. How much would u estimate a good paintjob for labor only, not the paint because i dunno what color i want yet.

damn a wide body molded in and under the hood door jams and hatch.

alot of money

for a good job from a good shop paint and everything 10,000 (as long as you dont get any crazey paint)

the more dents, rust and molding they have to do will cost alot

a decent paint job isn't 1000 bucks, try decent at 2500 and good at 3-4000 grand. If you want a widebody install you are looking at least in the 6k range, thats if the kit fit extremely well (and trust me, even high quality kits need some work, I am doing the re widebody right now). The more work the more money.

lol

all i'm going to say is you get what you pay for.

$1000 will get you a $1000 paint job

in your first post you said "mold a wide body kit" "make it look good" "repaint a diffrent color" "engine housing area painted" if you can get that done for 3 grand let me know where the shop is
