It's in Hopkins MI, and it'll prolly cost you roughly $1k i was told today...Call and tell them one of mouth came from Jesse Pigeon (like the bird). That's his Avenger, a friend of mine. Make sure to tell them you already have the kit installed, but need some fine fitment work and some body work. He gave Griffin (friend with 240) a loaner car to use while his was in the shop too without extra charge (Cadillac Eldorado). At least give them a call, im thinking they will beat that $1400 now that i talked to a few friends.

*puts number in phone*

I'll do that tomorrow, along with calling maaco, and possibly the shops near detroit.... thanks!

i paid 600 to have my kit painted. i dropped the car off with the kit on, but they took it off, painted it, and then put it back on.

if its just filling in the cracks and holes, you should try doing it yourself. its really not that hard. i really don't know all the issues with the gaps in the rear, but i don't think they can be that bad.

Some of these prices for just a kit paint and install are crazy! When I had mine done I had the kit installed, painted, bought the PIAA fogs, and had those installed all for $1,100.

Joe, I looked at google map... it's a 2 hour drive to Hopkins.

Yea, not worth the save in money really.... considering it's VERY illeagal to be driving my car. (insurance is only for storage, and i have yet to re-new my tags)

I'll call around the rest of the shops monday... getting my new fogs in then anyways.

Why not borrow your dad's truck again and trailor it? If it's worth it in price of course (didnt mention if you called or not yet for a price).

i paid 2 grand for my paint job, but that was having the kit mounted right, the side skirts molded, the wing and rear door handles, shaved, all body work, shaving key holes, etc everything basically done to the body of my car, my buddy did it all,

Let me get the name of the guy that painted my bodykit back in 2002. I paid a total of $500 for front / rear fascia and side skirts. Now I fitted everything to the car before paint and then installed everything after. But the price for painting was only $500 . Place was located downtown - they big into lowriders....

ooo, that would be a defenate plus. :thumbeft:

I'm hoping to get my exhaust re-done this week, then I'll worry about paying off what credit card debt I have, and start saving for this.
