estimates

Well I went to a shop today and they gave me a estimate of 230 for putting a evo 7 spoiler on today. It includes the whole thing like painting the spolier putting it on and filling the middle hole then painting that. How much was everyone elses?

That sounds a little high to me.....I had the shop paint mine evo 8 style, remove old spoiler, install new spoiler, and paint and plug middle hole for $150. I would ask to get that lower.

The discoloration of someone painting over the hole and not the whole entire trunk. it will look kinda wierd where the new paint and old meet. It might sit a tad higher. And if birds poop on your car then well you got poop on your car.
