But these low install and paint pricing is for East Coast no? I wasnt able to find a cheap deal like that here... at least not one that I completly trusted...

OK?talked to a local body shop that has done quite a bit of work for me in the past (custom paint on Audi?s, Volvo?s and SUV?s I?ve owned)?and they?ve given me a quote of $1000. I?m going to go with them so at the end of the day it?s going to cost me $2400 for the parts, paint and install. I?ll try to sell my stock pieces as a set so, if successful, that?ll offset the cost a bit?but regardless I?m pleased with $2400.
If anyone else in SoCal is interested let me know and I?ll send you contact info. My car will be done a week from this Friday (6.17.05)

Congrats! Don't expect to sell your old stuff. I just tucked it away on a big platform I built in my garage. Then again I didn't even try to put the parts on ebay because I figured how the heck would I ship them if the buyer is not local. Dunno

[/quote]I am getting my car back from the body shop today,
I will post some pics later. I paid $1,200 + Tax for the kit at Concord BMW. The install and paint was $1,490 out the door. My body shop told me it took them 8-9 hours to do the install because of all the air ducts going to the brakes etc.
