Re: average cost for body kit installation

if you have the kit i know a shop that will do it here (in florida) for like $65 per hour, so w/e their estimated instalation time is. shouldnt be more than 3-4hrs. 5 at the most.
however, i ask that you get it painted asap... having your car one color and your kit primer just screams im a gay little rice boy...
having it painted screams im a rice boy with money unless you have the perfomance to back it up.

to give you another idea
Average shop cost per hour is 70-100 around here and im assumeing similar in other areas.

Re: average cost for body kit installation

I hear if you duct tape it on, then drive deep into a lake, it will install and paint itself.
