Im on spring break this week, and the weathers nice and Im really wantin to get my stuff painted and put on. Id like some opinions here on how much all this would run me. I have a wings west kit, but its painted DT green that i would need sanded down and painted. I also have a stock fender thast melina blue that i would need sanded and painted. and a no limit grill. I plan on putting all this stuff and not the shop on since its pretty easy. Id just like to hear how much it might run me. Im not sure if it would add alot of labor time to have all this stuff sanded down or not. Thanks-Ryan

It's such a huge guess, just because one shop can charge a totally different price from the shop across the street. You best bet would be just to go to a few shops and ask. Then that way you will know for sure, instead of just going by all of our guesses. I would say though at least have $400 ready for a nice job, since for the most part other then the fender the rest is just a "lip" kit instead of full bumpers. You could also however take it to Maaco or something and pay like $150, however as they say you get what you pay for. If I were you I would do all of the sanding myself. That is where you could save quite a bit of money as well. Also with you installing it yourself, you will save a fair amount. A couploe places wanted to charge me $150 just to install my already painted WW side skirts, so I just figured I would try it myself and spent $15 on double sided tape and a couple of dollars on screws and did it myself in about an hour

Yeah, I have like 800 dollars to have it all done. Ive never really sanded any body peices before so i guess that was more of my questions because I was gonna have the shop do that as well, Im just waitin on my no limit grill from the GB and then im gonna go down and ask at my local shop, theyve been pretty reasonable in the past

Well i dropped everything off at the shop today. $425, not bad at all in my mind anyways.
