I think that is a pretty good price, the kit alone already cost $700 on eBay.

I think he said Installation Cost and Painting Cost. The kit itself is not included. I would say $700 to $750 is a fair price.

That seems like a lot to just paint and install the thing. I would shop around and see what kind of prices you can find. Maybe you should contact friskoplayer about his friend's shop. If you're not sure, you can ask to see some of his work. $850 seems like way too much if you ask me.

It cost me 1000, to have my kit painted and installed. Some people may say thats really high, but I really wanted a quality job, and a close match.

That is way to much. Get the kit painted and install it yourself. That's what I did.

i agree with everyone that said get it painted and install it yourself. it shouldn't cost $200 for each piece of the kit for paint and installation
