Just bought a new OEM Full body kit for $325!!

Yep, it no lie. I just bought a brand new oem full body kit for my 2000 acura tl. I have to drive up to seattle to get it though. ( i live in portland so its about a 2 hour drive). Thats going to suck but its worth it.
The only other problem is its painted blue and my car is silver. It will still be worth it after i pay to get it painted. I dont want to get ripped off so how much do you think it will cost to get painted? Has anyone ever had this done? How much was it?
Also is it hard to put the kit on? How much would it cost to get done? Does anyone have instructions?

I cant wait to get it on,

Thanks in advance

I though you could get the kit shipped for around 600 painted to the color of your car. To get it painted might cost around 300 for a good paint job.

Well, there is this guy I know that does a good for and agreed to do it for $125. I didn't get anything painted from him but I hear good stories from friends. He did my spoiler.

Painting might be expensive because you're gonna have to pay to have the current color removed. And the fact that it's urethane and not metal, I'm not sure what they are gonna use to strip it. I believe most strippers will eat through the kit.

People in NY/NJ, my body shop located in New Hyde Park will do it for a good price and a good job as well. Some members already have gone there to get it done from him. PM me if you want the contact info. Thas where Bxscig got his spoiler done from, and its not $125, its more like $190-$250 for all 4 pieces.

where can you get a kit for 600 shipped and painted to your car color?? Iv been looking for awhile, Anyway my buddy works at kedels body shop and he asked the painter there how much it would cost and he said it wouldent be more than 200. Im pretty sure they do good work. As far as the paint i think they will just sand it down a bit and use the paint sort of as a primer but i donr know. Anyway im off to seattle...

You can download the instruction from the following website http://www.acurainspired.com/forums/...p?showforum=16

It does not come with the instructions.

I dont have them on yet but when there compared to the car you cant really see a difference. The guy who was mixing the paint seemed like he knew what he was doing. Ill try to get some picks up tonight.
