If you search you will find a bunch of threads on this.

I paid ~$600 for the front, hood, a-pillars, lower half of front doors, side skirts, rear bumper (by trunk), mirrors and fenders.

I took of my old front end and hood so I had to get new parts for those which I installed myself. It is a pain but saved a lot of $$. The whole front kit for the Nismo with hood, mirrors and fenders was only $225.

wait, 1300 for what? do you mean covering the entire vehicle with it? or do you mean hood, bumpers, door edges, mirrors, A-pillars, etc.?

i mean $1300 sounds like u should be able to get every visible painted surface covered

Yeah, from my recollection it was what they called their Gold package. Covers the entire front fascia and I think they included the bottom of the entire sides.. at $1300 it was not of interest to me.
