Bodykit quote: not to sure if this is about the average price

[civicman]

Just curious I have never had a bodykit installed on my car before I have done some phoning around.


This is what I want done all I want is the sideskirts front and rear bumper mounted on the car no paint just fitted on the car. I already have the bodykit fiberglass kit. I was

Quoted: $1000 plus gst does this sound right not sure like I said I have never had one fitted before.

who cares what he does, hes probably painting the whole car later. that quote is about right for a fg kit installed, maybe even a little low IMO.

It really isn't hard to do this yourself. Not only are you wasting your money paying someone $1000 for a job you could do yourself, you will be laughed at by motorists looking at your unpainted fiberglass. Take the money at put it towards a good paintjob; Better yet, keep the stock body panels, which look better, last longer, and don't chip and crack like shitty fiberglass kits always do. After you sell your parts to a real highschool tuner, turbo your civic and enjoy buckets of torque steer while you race every piece of traffic moving faster than you.

EDIT:

In all seriousness, since you will go ahead and do it anyway, PM born2workoncars, he's good at this kind of thing and will do it cheaper than a shop!

Thanks man!! yha thats my plan I'm painting it after words. I just want it fitted so I can remove it just to see how it fit's and if it's the look im after. The car won't be moved until it's done.
