I know your in Columbus, but if you really want a good shop in GA check out Magnum collision in Marietta, GA. They do ALOT of BMW's and ive seen them doing a few custom jobs as well. For a job like that depending on wether you want it molded in or bolted in you can expect around 1000 plus for install and paint.

wow, 1000.00 bucks. i was thinking more along the lines of 5 grand to install it. That sounds a little low i mean i have been charged 400 dollars to paint a front bumper before but to paint the whole wide body kit and mold it seems as if it would be a lot more?

I can see you spending 5k for the paint job alone, plus another 2k for install and prep.

Sorry. That price was my price cause i knew the owners and shop guys from delivering parts to them. Also i would prep the parts myself. It probably would be 1k just for the install and probably around 2500-3500 for paint.
