If a few different bodyshops quoted you that price then it is right. how do u know what it should be?

It was really a rough estimate, but from my managers perspective, he said he has never heard of that taking so long. I also talked to my cousin in Cali and he said he recently just done one and it only took him two-three hours. I guess ill have to still look around for some body shops

Varrastone 1.1.1 versions they look like the BBS LMs 18x10.5+15 or the 18x9.5+12 I would still need to figure out what I need to do to install them maybe a fender pull or a Lil flare not sure
