well i dont have one...but i know that it all depends on the kit, and all depends on the store u goin wit.... theere might be frame work needed to do, i know u need to get the reinfocement brace of the front unless u get the intial v that is in a group buy that is bolt on.... but it all depends on the shop. hope that helps somewhat even though i didnt give ya a price

well, it sure wasn't cheap because I didn't do the work myself, but yeah ordering the kit cost me roughly $1150 including shipping, and $300 to put the kit on.....

Only $300 to put the kit on? That's a great deal. The paint alone should cost more than that. I would say a general price would be around $1,000 - $2,000 depending on which kit and how well it fits, and whether or not you want the headlight gaps filled in and a custom crash bar made up (the stock crash bar won't fit). I guess it also depends on the area you live in and how much hourly labor charges are.

I haven't even gotten it painted yet...cuzz right now i can't afford to lose my car for 2-3 days..but the paint is going to cost at least $800 minimum and that's just an okay job....but i hope i get a picture up soon, so people can help me out with what to do next.......

Word to the wise you get what you payfor. I spend 300 on tools and supplies to put it on with some help. And I spend about 700 getting all the work fixed.

It definitely depends on the kit and the shop that puts it on. The shop I went to charges $2000 and up for paint and install.

the shop i went charged me 500 dollers with the kit painted ....the best thin to do is to keep on lookin till u find dat one shop ...

Say i only want the front bumper (to those who have seen my car you know why)

do i only pay for enough paint to paint that part, or do i have to pay for the overall paint job. in other words, does it cost the same to paint a whole body kit as opposed to a tiny front bumper? =) i know just getting the front bumper probably will only run me about 200-300 right?
