depends mainly on the fitment quality of the kit. To instal and paint would prolly cost you between $700-$1000. I looked into getting just a rear bumper and it was going to cost around $300 to install and paint.

What kind of kit is it?

I'd try and make friends with a paint guy because if that kits fitment is a bit off you might aswell save on the paint cost. Going urethane like the Kaminari will garuntee you a perfect fit unless something goes wrong with the mold.

lets just put it this way...

to save money fit the kit on yourself, fit it, then take it off agen and get those peices painted, then come back and fit them back onto your kit.... if you can't do that then ur going to have to probably pay around 400 for that...


now for paint... u can do a cheap paint job from like 200 to 500 or get a good oin from 700 to 1000 dollars.

Also do some research on the shop, see how reputable they are in your local area.

I'll probably go with EVO7 techsports kit from accolade.
I used to like the Kaminari kit but it just looks clean, not that attractive to me.
i heard somewhere that polyurathane costs more to paint than the other material.
becase it's flexibility which is good though.
anyway is accolade EVO7TS kit reliable at all?(fitment & durability)

let me just say... that u need to do research on the company that you plan on buying the kit from, and the more you know about body work the less stressful it will be...

If you want your car to look really good, expect to pay a lot for preping the kit depending on where you get the kit from.

Install it your self. I have never done anything as far as body work goes and my kit fits like a dream. Paint cost me $350 from a friend's uncle.

California tends to have lower prices because of the multitude of shops..

I would estimate $700-1000 for paint and install.
