How much to pay to fit and paint fr bumper and sides..??
Thats your problem. You always assume and so do alot of people. If you read my other post i said id prefer to leave it to the pros. Considering thats what i do part time it figured i could do it. Im guessing from your pics you have a wald lip molded into you bumper and qtrs? Anybody can try to fit it and if it doesnt work then put the factory on and take it to a shop. Its always worth a shot. Who knows the fitment could be perfect but i highly doubt it. On average the painting and just fitting of bumper and skirts could range from 400-1200 depending on how much work and color
Here's your quote:
Fit it yourself... any idiot who can run a drill and use a ratchet and socket set can test fit and install a bumper and sides. Then just have someone spray it if you dont paint.
Depending on your car color and paint fade, have a body shop or auto paint jobber use a paint scanner to scan an adjacent panel so the paint matches on the newly painted parts, simply using the OEM paintcode wont match 100% of the time.
Best bet is to call local shops and get quotes... never understood asking online for prices when pretty much every body shop across the country is different.

I only mentioned one portion... I could go on and on about proper fitment of specific parts... there is no need for that... I will say however - that unless you have a big area with plenty of tools and material for body work, its not just a drill the hole and bolt it in application... there is a bunch of cutting, shaping, fitting, fiberglass laying, sanding, prepping... time, space,tools and material is needed for all this... that is not something I have.
And yes, that is a Wald replica... molded or not, a bunch of fitment issues will be experienced when installing on an 03-04... it's already been mentioned by people that have tried it.
Please think before you type your next response... especially parts that pertain to me.
If im reading your post right:
1. thats not my post, the second one anyway
2. I simply said i could fit your rear.
3. You assumed that i meant an average joe could fit it
4. No i dont know you and you dont know me
5. I just stated why not try it yourself if it doesnt work take it to a shop

Actually G2FLIP4 is more right than not. His post was #5 and up to that point the OP hadn't clarified if the pieces he's fitting are oem or aftermarket. If they are oem pieces, I don't think it would take much more fitment adjustment than what post #5 specified.
Just a note.

Clearly you are not the average enthusiast that the vast majority out here are... and for you to have the resources to fit kits that aren't typically 100% spot on is a nice situation... uncommon though.
Sorry for mistaken your post and blasting you...

And unless he is referring to a used bumper and rocker panels, it would already be painted...
So its doubtful that he is referring to OEM...
my apologies... I did read your post as being the guy that stated anyone could fit a kit...

I really dont think he means OEM though...
No point in arguing about it. Let the OP clarify if he even wants to.
ut i doubt its oem like you said
but yeah, I guess he needs to clarify to be sure...
I could be wrong I (like when I blasted the wrong guy
)... but I'm pretty sure he is referring to aftermarket...
I think the title states fit and paint. But at this point we need alot of answers to give a good price. Now back on topic
Kuruma Bump an Greddy sides, off with the OEM, painted and installed. $1600. To busy to play with car these last few months an didnt mind payin for it. That includes new bumper and sides.
Call Auto Explosion - ask for Esteban: 310-329-6691
Edit - well you aren't even the OP... so I dont know where you are... I guess the shop info doesn't matter for you... but you can call for quote anyway I guess (usually they will want to see the car and parts though)...
The Kuruma Z itself is like $800 shipped. Add sides in, and the body work seems pretty cheap to me.
