What should I expect to pay to get M3 rep pained?

hoilui · 06-19-2012, 08:16 PM

I'm getting quotes right now and the first one was at $1100 to paint the m3 rep and side skirts installed. Seems rather high. I'm waiting to hear from 3 others.

Quote from 3 local body shops to paint and install an mtech front where I live, were 250, 300, and 500

jdhart · 06-19-2012, 10:56 PM

My first quote was $1500-1700 just to paint front/rear bumper, side skirts and trunk. Still shopping.

Just had my MTech front rep painted and it was $300 out the door. I installed myself but he quoted me an additional $70 for the install.

They don't charge me for labor, you're looking at around the same quote from these guys if it's for a random customer.

Cisco661 · 06-26-2012, 05:35 PM

sounds like they charging you for the install too. just ask for the paint and install them yourself.

Nope, I've been very clear paint only. I've called ~7 shops now, all quoting me the same. Just gonna have the bumpers done for now, hold off on the skirts and trunk I guess.

I haven't received the bumper yet so once I get it, I will bring it to the shop, showing them pictures is probably not the best way to get a quote.
