ok i have never got a bodykit put on b4 and was wondering what you guys thought about this price...i have a 91 CRX HF and i am putting a Black widow special edition kit on it and painting it like the grey s2000 (it is now red) and was wondering if $3800 sounded ok to do this...i think it seems a bit steep...but i just dont know...plus there is really no one in my area that puts on kits and this guy has done about 15-20 and he seems to have the most EXP. just wonderin...

have them paint all your shit and then install the kit yourself, $3,800 is way too much.

ohh, that one. Yeah, that kit is crazy. That still seems a little high, by a few hundred.

ya he said 3,800 if everything goes wrong but most likely less and i called 2 other places today and they quated me at 3,500 w/o seeing the pieces or anything so im sure they would be about the same...so i think im all set

if it is 3,800 ...for painting bay,jambs,trunk,the kit and the car..and then installing the kit ?? pretty steep or is this including the price of the kit ? if that is including the kit then its a good deal and roll with it, especialy since you said this guy is the best in your area !!! what area is this anyways ?

Your average paint job is around $2,000 (for a decent/good one). That kit looks like it takes more labor than your average kit, but not $2,000 worth of labor. You could get a motor swap for cheaper labor than that. I would negotiate prices with him. I would say shoot for $3200...

ya he was thinkin he had to take off the quaterpanals and shit...then i started thinkin that we have unibody cars you take the pnal off and replace it with 8lb piece of fiberglass that thing is just gonna collapse so i think he will bring the price down...and no it does not inculde the kit i alrdy bought it and he examined the kit and it cam with a small crack up the side of the hood and he is gonn ahafta repair that...it about 4 inches long...but ya we will see ill try and talk him down...but i dont think he is moving too far

I try biting my tongue most of the time while browsing the body kit section on here, but dude.. don't you think three thousand dollars could be put to a much better use than slapping a body kit on an old crx? I respect you at least wanting to paint it and get it done professionally but I mean you're just going to hate the way it looks in a few years when you're older and more mature..

If you have not already bought the kit, go here www.redrumcustoms.com they have the kit for about 11 or 1,200. I've been looking and thats the cheapest I've found the kit itself. Painting is another story.

Like most hobbies, we'll all eventually mature and grow out of it. I say "to each... their own". :)
