Buyer should acknowledge that
after market body kits are not bolt on products. Buyer must install and paint at auto body shop. If buyer considers original factory parts are 100% perfect fit, then buyer should understand that all after market products are like 90% fit or lower. Autobarber will not recommand buyer DIY unless buyer has tons of experiance working on after market parts and has all the necessary tools. (Buyer can go to autobarber community area to search for advices.) These produt may need heat treatment, minor shaving or adding addition fiberglass to ensure perfectly surfaced, primed, painted andclear coat wet-sanded. If buyer does not re-surface or clear coat wet sand, product will have wavy or distorted images, imperfections, orange peel, drips or runs in the finished paint.
Buyer understands that
paint and auto body shops are based on labor. Paint and materials do not cost much. The more money buyer pays for labor, the better outcome.
Estimated cost to ensure 100% perfect fit is $300 each piece, $500 each piece for European vehicle. ( Example, a body kit which includes front bumper, pair of side-skirts, rear bumper would be $900, a European vehicle $1500.)
Please carefully question the paint and autobody shop if they are going to do everything mentioned above.
