Tein Drop and Painted Sills

Here's a few shots of my 03.5 Sedan with painted side sills along with front and rear valence. It's dropped on 350z S. Techs and is in dire need of some wheels or wider tires.

Car looks great man. Out of curiosity, roughly how much does it cost to have your side sills & front + rear valence painted these days? I remember this was a big thing when the 03-04 sedan was new.

Thanks!

Well the short answer is its free when someone parks too close to you, puts some chips into your rear bumper and provides you their insurance information. If you were paying out of pocket it would depend greatly on what your shop charges. The shop I used does good quality work and my friend knows the shop owner and get his cars painted there regularly. I think the quote was $250 per sill ($500 total) and $450 per bumper ($900 total) because you can't just paint the lower valence if you want it done right, it is painted as one piece.
