Question Install & Paint question...

Okay here's the deal my car has been in the shop for some time now so I figure I'll just let them
1. Paint and install my OEM front & sides & WW rear
2. Paint my Trunk lid

3. Install my BMW Sidemarkers
4. Install my Silver Reverse Glow Gauges
How much do you think this should run me? All info. is appreciated.. Thanks!!!

If your car has been in the shop longer than expected......then maybe you might have a good bargaining chip on this work. Let them give you an estimate and then ask us if we feel as though it's a good deal. It's always best to get a second or third appraisal if unsure.

Thats kinda high isnt it, the only time consuming part would be the painting, and cost of paint. Side markers and reverse glows should be cake...... granted they line the markers up right, and dont reemove your needles when putting on the gauges

I'm backing up a bit, ah I hope I don't hit ya ! But seriously, an accident caused by a so called good friend, told to you first by yet another friend.........? { DOA: 1-28 accident, DTS: 2-21 shop, PTD: 4-4 april fool's day is over. } When did ya get the 19" Lowenharts mounted ? Basically, I'm confused as to why what appears to be a simple fender replacement has taken so long. $600 may be alright at any other shop, but personally I think you've been deprived of your car and deserve a better deal. How can you live without your baby any longer ? PS: How much is the fender repair job setting you back, besides not being able to drive ?
