Oh in comparision to everyones beloved Tony. Price + shipping was almost $700 more. I am sure they use OEM paint n stuff and dont take me wrong, the kit looks awesome.

But the guy couldnt convince me with the price adjustments he was making.

My kit:

$1500 shipped by Gary at newport, primed
$700 paint and install
Total: $2200

AutoRev: $2700 paint and shipped then add more to install
ya unfortunately, shipping is costly. if you haven't seen the box this thing comes in, it's huge!

i guess the question you have to ask yourself is.......how important is the paint quality to you. i'm not just talkin' about how it looks initially, but how it holds up. i've heard from others who has gotten parts & paint from other vendors......paint quality sucked. small rock chips would start to grow and eventually spread with time.

regardless, good luck with your search.

Right, what I meant by magical is: why the $700 difference, it seems the reason was paint (as quoted by member thefleet in post #16 in this thread), why should paint cost that much more? Other members are welcome to chime in here...
