i just dropped my car off at a shop that is installing/painting a new hood, side skirts, front and rear bumper. they told me it would be somewhere between $2000 and $2500. is this a good price? thanks.

Click to expand...

I think that is a lot. my hood/bumper was 400 for paint/install....are they paining the doors and quarter panels for blending? if they are doing all that, including the rear decklid, pretty much the whole car, it is a good price. If they are just painting the pieces they are putting on, that is too much...too late now though...should have shopped around...

they aren't blending but they are doing all the fitting/sanding/priming/painting. and it needs a lot of work. is that still high?

it's not in terrrible shape but it needs some work to fit, and it's fiberglass so there are some imperfections. i thought this seemed reasonable.

does anybody else have any input on this? am i getting ripped off?
