How long do u think it would take a shop to install and paint

How long do you think it would be to get a shop to install
95-96 RMM front lip
Erebuni 52 ss
Razzi Rear Lip

sand if necessary, spray and a coat of clear coat just the front bumper w/lip, skirts, and rear bumper w/lip

i was quoted 50/hr USD. Was hoping it would take 10 hours or less, anyone know?

Personally, I would do any cutting or sanding that you would almost need no expensive tools that the avg. person wouldn't have. Do everything and leave the paint to yourself. Prices very, you could pay probably UP TO $600 for something as simple as this, atleast in my area. Do what you can, save money for other things, that's my only advice on this.

wow that is CHEAP!! The import garage here charges like $200 per bumper (if done individually and not all at once) or $500 for the kit. BUT, if any fiberglassing is involved, they charge $15 PER inch made, and they rebuild, not necessarily patching and just bonding the shit together. In fact, I was quoted $600 to only repair my kit to make it fit like factory, no paint or anything else.

it was the Sportivo Bodykit for his Corolla.... they're small i think that's why its cheap...

thanks for the responses guys, but im looking more for man hour info, and then i can extrapolate a general cost

[Eye8Pussies]

find a different shop

most shops don't go by hourly


go to a shop that will give you a flat rate- you'll have to bring your car in and let them take a look at the quality of the kit and then they'll give you a price, and if it takes a lot longer than planned, they should give you another price

but going by hourly...that's not the way to go. how efficient/inefficient do you think they are? and how do you know?

[felkajamine]

i wouldn't go with that shop dude! with body kits and stuff it's very easy to run into fitment issues, and modification steps, and it's just not somthing that you can gauge on time, cause each case is different.

i would go to a different shop man! ateast that's not where i would go!

just remember, you get what you pay for... i paid 800 for mine to be painted. I mounted it myself (i'm good like that) and did most of the prep work. the paint on my kit is absolutely perfect, and has been for years now, if you disregard all the abuse it's taked from me.

I wouldn't go with them just because they charge hourly. They will probably take a long ass time, more than they should just so that they can charge you more.

Shop around. You should be able to find a place to do it for around $350. Where'd you order the razzi rear from?

my friend paid $1000 for a full body kit paint with a pearl white and clearcoated. thats with fitting and refiberglassing and making it stronger (ebay kit)

[acs72727]

i shouldnt need refiberglassing tho should I?

i didnt buy an ebay kit my fitment should be 100%

[PtBaller]

Mope you wont need refiberglassing, the only part of your kit thats fiberglass is your skirts.
