$3500 For Work

I went to the custom shop here in town and this is the price they gave me $3500. Thats for molding my front and rear lip into the bumpers, mounting the side skirts, Shaveing the body side molding, shaveing the trunk, paint the whole car, and a flip flop paint of the A acura symbol on the hood to make it ghost. I thought this was an awsome deal, plus the guy is gonna let me help so I get to watch just about everything.

What do you guys think.

OK the thing with the ghost work is that its going to be in the clear. It won't be noticable all the time only when your walking by and at certain angles it will fade in and out. NoI am not changeing the color. Only thing changeing is they are going to cut and buff so it will really shine.

I'd leave the doors handles in, those poppers can be more troubel then it's worth and good luck selling the car afterwards. I'd also lay off the ghost A
