Default just ordered my kit?

Well I just ordered my body kit from Carson/toyota! when it arrives I have to look for a good shop to paint and install. Everyone with kits, what was an estimate cost that you paid to have the kit painted and installed, so I can get an idea!!!!

thanks, lettuce

What kit you got? Should be around $1200.00 for a good shop since you have PDW. IT wont match perfect but it will be really close depending on the shop. Since you got it from Steve it wont be a knockof so the fit will be good depeding on if its a JDM or USDM kit

JDM = Japanese Designed and Manufactured?

USDM = US Designed and Manufactured?

It is the RMM full kit. Pretty sure it's US made. The other thing is do you think that it will be too low without bigger size wheels on the car, right now I just have stock. My car is lowered with adjustable's probably about little tad over an inch drop

JDM= Japenese Domestic Market any thing made and sold in Japan for Japenese cars. Much better than Us made kits wether Poly or fiberglass.
USDM= United Ststes Domestic Market anything made and sold in the US and designed for US cars

My RMM kit is in the process of being installed now. The front and rear bumper, side skirts, and my Junction Produce roof spoiler are $800 for paint and install. I'm also having some subtle "rounding off" touches around the fr/rr bumper and skirts near the wheelwells. Also, when I had it test fitted the shop said it was one of the better kits they've seen. Hope this helps you out.
Good luck...and good choice. (ha ha)

bluelex..

is the 900.00 for test fitting the kit on the car first, then painting the body kit, then installing it?

Around how long did they take to do the whole job?

no worries bro...only a chuckle because we bought the same kit from the same vendor...hence "good luck and good choice."
that kit is obviously one of my faves. bluelex and jacobt's cars pretty much sold me on the RMM kit.
