Kits are about 5000$. That's cheap compared to other cars, to put it into perspective, a turboback exhaust is a grand or more for my car.

lol, another dream comes crashing down.
if you can keep the car, don't repaint it unless there are serious problems w/ the paint.

Unless of course you know how and have the equipment to do it, then you would only have to pay for materials. In which case you can decently paint it for a grand. Primer, base, clear.

Even then it's expensive. The guy in my club has amazing hookups and he was still looking at about 3000$ for a 7500$ paint job. It's not something you do for the hell of it, it's something you damn well spend good money on.
