As many shops and people you ask, that's how many different prices you will get.

Pricing can vary tremendously from shop to shop and it's one of those compromises where you get what you pay for.

Below you will find some basic price packages and guide lines for installing Body Kits.

Basic collision & auto body repair estimating is different then custom, its easier to estimate for several reason; there are books that are produced by companies who actually disassemble the vehicle in question and they actually record the time it take to do it, then they record reassembly times as well.  These books are translated into software  auto body shops can use either, or both, it's also similar to the software that insurance companies use when estimating.

Even with these tools for estimating, there are judgment items, these are items that are not in the book and the estimator has to judge how long the repair will take.  Even using this method estimates are still not 100% accurate, even insurance companies understand this and allow for supplements (additional charges for additional work required).

Unfortunately supplements are a fact of life in a body shop and something we have dealt with for years, the insurance companies have been trying to eliminate them, but they cant  "as long as we have an imperfect world we will have supplements".

Basic Installation without Paint

In some cases all a customer needs is to have their kit installed.  Sometimes they already have someone who will paint.  We do accommodate these situations as well.  If you just want a good fitting kit for someone else to paint, this is a good low budget option for you.  All our installs are clean and professional.  Our goal with any install is making the ground effects look factory installed.  *Excludes Wide Body unless its race only rivet on style.

$500 to $650

We Specialize in Wide Body Installations

There are several types of wide body kits available today and these are done on a case by case basis and usually requires us to paint the car allover or come close to it. 

Our preference is molding the parts in when we do wide bodies but, bolt/rivet on are an option for our Drifting or Full Race Customers and will be on the lower end of the price range.  If you have a race car that will see lots of track time, call us for race discounts, we understand the needs of the track and the punishment they will take.

$6000 to $15,000


Custom Wide Body Creations

We can custom build a wide body kit using fiberglass or urethane parts.  Pricing for this is budget specific and if you have to ask you may not be ready for it.

$17,000 and up

Whether it's repairing urethane, custom cut openings for fog lamps or molding into a metal panel, we have perfected the method.  Using this method we can mold a lip kit into a factory bumper and it looks like a one piece kit, or mold a "urethane" spoiler into your "steel" Molded in urethane stillin rear wing into steel rear hatch on nissan 300zxrear hatch.  It looks amazing.

Custom Fit Body Kits

These are done for the hard to find applications.  If you have a car that you are having trouble finding a kit for or you can't find a kit at all, we can take a body kit and alter it to fit your application.

These are done on a case by case basis and are more expensive than a normal install, this applies to fiberglass as well as urethane.

Body Kit Engineering-  This is an installation where you need to be able to easily remove the kit for part replacement or repair, usually done on cars intended for Lambo doors, drifting or sanctioned racing.  Their installed with bracing, clips and fasteners that will allow for removal and be structurally stronger then a normal kit.

Top

Custom Car Builder-  We can completely build, finish or repair your kit car project or build a complete turn key custom tuner car.

As you will find out, depending how many shops you ask, that's how many different prices you will get.  If your project is intended for shows, that's a whole different pricing structure and ultimately depends on your budget.  You can spend $10,000 to $25,000 or more on a first class custom project with install and allover paint and some graphics. 

We would like to have a one price fits all but unfortunately there are too many variables to deal with.   

Why Buy Quality?  Pay more for a quality kit and you will save on the install, kits are cheaper than body labor.

Unfortunately Body Shop Service is a get what you pay for item (or at least it should be).  If you want it cheap to save a lot of money?.  Lets see what can happen when its about cheap and not about quality. 

After reading the above post, ask yourself; if this happened to you, how much money would you save?
