Hello,

I got a quote today for 1150.00 to install and paint side skirts and real bumper. Is this a fair price?

Depends on what region you live in since price will very by region. Your best bet is to get advice from other people in your area or to contact other body shops to compare prices.

I think that's too much. The side skirts and rear bumper are very easy to install. The front bumper is where most of the work/adjustments have to be made.

FYI - I paid $1,500 to get an entire OEM kit painted and installed. Again, the front bumper required alot of internal parts swaps. Just my .02

Does this include purchasing the side skirts and rear bumper parts as well? Kind of high if it's paint and install only.



On a side note...Is this for OEM rear bumper? Are you upgrading from standard to Mtech? rear? If so, did you also get the 3 Mtech rear bumper brackets? If you didn't it will dangle at the bottom.

Like I said it is gonna depend on your region as you saw by the different prices people posted. Call multiple shops and get multiple quotes and make sure whatever place you decide to go with is a reputable establishment.
