Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Ballpark cost for installing vented fenders?

I ordered the fenders and decided to start looking for a shop. First place is a place I trust and expected it to be probably the highest in town, but it would be top notch work. $850 to install and paint. He recommended blending the doors and said $1350 would be pretty close, plus $50\hr for any finishing needed on the fiberglass.

I was expecting it to be more than $5-600, but more than double seems a bit much. If I knew the paint would match, I'd be able to swallow $850, but then again, it would suck if it was obviously different.

Best I can tell, he is adding almost 11 hrs labor to swap fenders and prep the doors for blending. That seems high.
