Painting OEM kit

is $450 high for painting a brand new OEM kit? It is painted already so I know it needs to be re prepped and painted and cleared. Is this way high or reasonable?
Here is my car it was screaming for the kit!





and to the fukers at the meet I will be back!!! haha then i can hang with u lol

Actually im wondering the same thing if 450 is high for painting. Im really close to buying a used WW kit and I'll need to repaint it. Neone kno how much we should be spending for painting a whole body kit?

your car already looks sweet without the kit...of course I'm not saying that to talk you into selling it to me. kidding...I did look into a kit and having it painted and was told $400 to prep, paint and install, so your est. may be a bit on the high side.

Actually it's a pretty good price. I was quoted $550 to do this.

Damn you! Now I have to go out and put some new exhaust tips on my car. They look great!

Anyone know if I can get those tips without buying the whole exhaust?
