Damn everything is too damned expensive

Ok. Rims estimated price, $1080 and that's not counting the tires...

$1300 for bodywork and paintjobs.

Damn.

I'm just gonna keep it simple, Paint, bodywork, wood kit, tint and rims and alarm. but im gonna try to find places where i can get them for the best price.

Body work should not be that high for minor scratches... WTF...? they trying to rip me off i feel. thoughts.

How much paint work you need? Post pics of damage? $1080 for 4 wheels? Pretty cheap actually.

^+1, price you quoted on the wheels is really cheap. Need to know how much body work is being done to gauge if its too much or not.

Seems pretty cheap considering you have quite a bit of panels that need to be refinished.

You have to Fix 90% of your body panels, which will require bodywork and paint. That is really cheap.

You know i usually thought that depending on the severity of the damage it would be more expensive. I mean these are nicks and scratches and paintwork. This is major work??? Can you just imagine if someone really hit me from behind or something?

??? Explain.

Yeah all things considered the damage is not THAT bad... but what do i know it;s my first car. im bound to scratch my paint nick a corner, not judging the distance of a drive-through. backing up too fast hitting the curb. I'm a decent driver though.
