I paid $320 to get my sideskirts painted SSM. There was no prep work done at all when I dropped them off.

you do know that if you have an actual Type R spoiler its not just going to fit on your car flush right? You'll have to do some modification to make it fit right. Plus that 200 sounds like a good deal. Friends dad works at a reputable paint shop and they'd probably charge 250 for it or so.

stop being cheap. you get what you pay for. pay the money, get a decent paint job so you wont have to repaint later.

The response that i got when i got my wing painted was 180-200 USD. The wing was fiberglass, needed some work. I told him that if he does a good job and gave me a good price i would let him paint my whole body kit.
He painted it for 120, great deal and still looks good.

Maybe a different approach? Trying never hurts.

What kind of paint shop did you take it to?

A production shop or custom shop?

Yeah that's a sweet deal bro!

I paint and if you would have came into my shop with me not knowing you i would have told you atleast a grand for all that to be done...

But if you know someone than you're lucky but if you don't than you gotta bite the bullet if you need body and paint work done.

Like i said before if you don't know someone than you are gonna have to suck it up and spend the loot.

It's definitely not cheap at all unless you are using poor quality paint and any shop using junk paint has a junk painter spraying it!

you get what you pay for, youll be happy to pay the 200+ when the "deal" you are getting starts lifting on you.

Is this a replica fiberglass wing or the real deal? Either way, just like everyone else has said, I'd just hock it and get the HFP. I have it and it took 15 minutes to install, paint matched perfectly, and it was a perfect fit. OEM ftw.

I'm getting my jdm bumper and my mugen lip painted for 175. It's good to know a friend that owns his own paint service.
