Translated into proper English (UK):
Hey guys! I went into the body shop today and the guy told me he would shave all my doors, paint it, and install the door poppers for $1200. I think that's a little high in my opinion, but im still gonna shop around! Does anyone here have shaved doors? if so, how much did it cost?

 

it does seem a little high, but shaving door handles takes a lot of time and effort.

 

it all depends on what it's worth to you

 

shaving is the easy part...you can get that done for like 50 a handle....poppers you can get for 150 for both front..i dont see why you would need all four...and paint is the hardest part in my opinion

 

that doesnt sound unreasonable to me if they do good work. not worth the money tho imo, but you rae a show lancer so go for it.

 

it does seem a lil high in my opinion, with that money i could get some performance parts 4 my car or other things 2 make it look better but i just like tha look of shaved doors its differnt and u get points 4 that at shows!

 

depends on how well they do it and how many times they've done it.

I've seen some horribly shaved doors where even after painting it, you could still see the marks where they've welded the steel in.

 

well trust me, if they do good quality work for that price, then its worth it at that price, even tho u could probably get it for around 800 i think, and that would be a nice quality job

 

moving to show and shine

 

yeah thats about what we charge to do door handles. there is a pretty good bit of wiring and stuff involved and the paint is the most time consuming part. 1200 isnt a really bad deal.

 

I got my handles shaved for 25 a door...but thats cause my boy did them...he did a great job, looks like they were never there, the poppers are 32 dollar 'trunk release solenoids' from circuit city wired into my alarm...but its all not painted yet...so with regards to ur quote, its not too unreasonable because most places i checked wanted 50-100 a door and up to 1000 to paint, so ur quote's not too bad...

 

my boy is doin it for $400 2 shave all 4 doors and for tha popers installed

 

it seems like a lot of money. but then again it seems like a good amount of work. either way let us know how it turns out.

 

Never go cheap when it comes to body work and paint. If they have a good repituation for great work then its worth it. I wanna do mine but I wont bother. If someone hits both sides of my car and they need to be repainted anyways then I will.

 

i think 1200 is about right...i asked many place around 50-70 shaved each door & 500 for the popper & installation & painting is 300-400...

how about just shave the rear & install the popper on the rear only, that mightl look like the coupe that way & save money too!!
