All depends on the shop, location, time and type of paint. There is no set cost in body shop work. Its all on how well and fast you want it done. My G/F's truck is getting re-done right now and the bill is +$8500. That is just paint and molding. Im sure James will surly agree.

IIRC, Craig had to shave off a fin or two from the Z3 fender because of the fender flares from the Millenium kit.

James was telling me at IRev in Chicago that it's definately not recommended... the weight is too much for the fiberglass fenders to handle and Craigs are starting to crack?!?!?!? so basically after hearing that I would say forget about it and keep the stock fenders or have a shop install the metal Z3 or M3 metal vents onto your stock fenders..

Exactly what Crispy Said... I wouldn't recommend doing the Z3s however it can be done.

Yes, I am doing the Aerogear front bumper and Z3 fenders. Screw stock.

my fenders cracked only because there was no support for the bumper from the bottom and it was sagging. with the new bumper supports we're installing it relieves all the stress from the fender mounting point

i am assuming it cracked because you ran the CAI for your turbo down through the fender support brackets (which had to be removed) in order to put the filter in the fb area.
