body work

TripleBlkZ

Just curious for the Vancouver/Kelowna area people who have bought the FRP Fenders or amuse body parts what are body shops charging you to have them painted/installed?

Reason I ask been really thinking of ordering the customer fenders and had a quote of anywhere from $700-$1500 to have painted and installed. I was like wow that a wide range but the guy said depending on fitment and how much work is require could even be over the $1500. It has really slowed me down on making any purchases if the shipping and part is $800 ( example only) then just to get them on will be another $1500.

PM' hyunsoo from the forum. He did a full amuse kit with fenders and everything. Ask him the details. He got it done in vancouver too

i got mine done at ak autoworks in burnaby bc. they did a good job. cost me 3000 or 3500 for front and side amuse and patch the 12 holes on the trunk. they are pricy but they stand behind their work and take care of your car.

Hmmm so if it was 3500 for front. side and 12 holes?? I guess in a way it average to $1000/$1500 a pc. I don't have concerns of this body shop here, I know they do really good work just was a little shocked at the 1500 quote, I honest was thinking 1500 for everything...fender/shipping/install but I really didn't know what install/paint costs.

Yeah I spoke to hyunsoo in the past great guy, will wait a few days and see if he see's the thread before I msg him.

Thanks for the info guys, still trying to make it out to a Vancouver meet but been having schedule conflits.

gabo

he's asking about prices and I have no idea lol. thats why told him to PM hans coz he'll have a better idea of how much.

dont worry buddy, i already told couple guys that PM'd me asking where did i get my body work done. Told them to go to auto mind.

is like i told them in auto mind, im gonna spread the word about the great job they did on my car. at least i know where to take my car always from now on

bro look at the great job they did on my car and all that only cost me $900
their prices are very reasonable and their quality of work is great.

Also my downtime was only 3 days. They work pretty fast and still do a good job

what kind of work did they do for you for $900. Sunline lip kit fitted and painted? and painted fangs?

TripleBlkZ

Ha was just thinking the same for $900 what work did they do for you?

My front lip was cracked and my side skirt had a BAD scrape. Very noticeable.
they fixed my kit and painted.

Sides body color and front lip part body color and middle gloss black.

Kevin did my headlights on the side at the same time as they were working on my car

Holler at me if you need a referral

TripleBlkZ

Will do thanks. I might just give them a call and see what they can quote over the phone. If they need the car for days not only I would have to head there would need the wife to follow to getme back to Kelowna and then once more to get the car. Unless its an amazing deal I will more then likely have it done local when I do it.

gabo

trust me. it WILL be worth the trip
