Cost of full-body mod + new paint?
 

I now have a fairly large hole in the front of my car, and a small dent in the back (driver error, unfortunately). I could just replace the front, have the dent pulled out, and have the two repainted.....

Or I could take this opportunity and run with it, get a full-body mod and a new paint job.

What would be the approximate cost of:
1. The full-body kit.
2. Lime-green paint with purple highlights.
3. Purple wheels (I guess this would be annodized?).

I'm interested in low cost to high cost, so thay I have a ballpark figure of what it would cost.

Thanks, all!

Depends on the brand of body kit on how much that would cost. Just consider that a full paint job on the car will cost at least $4,000, but probably more.

Then factor in the cost of your kit + the molding necessary to prep it for paint.

Powdercoating a set of rims will usually run you at least $100 per wheel, but usually more. I'd estimate at least $1000 including dismounting and remounting the tires.

I would budget no less than $10,000 depending on the body kit, but most likely it will be a good bit more than that.

Lime green paint with purple wheels......... I hope your kidding.

i don't think he's kidding i mean look at what he drives an 09 MAXED OUT 370z

:wtf2:

No, I'm not kidding, although maybe lime green is a little brighter than what I'm thinking. I'm not painting it to impress people... I could give a rat's *** what you think about it. I saw a Lamborghini with this paint job and it was the coolest looking car I've ever seen.

What would be the approximate cost of:
1. The full-body kit.

-Full body kit painted runs around 1100-1500 installed and painted.
2. Lime-green paint with purple highlights.

-im guessing you want your headlights painted?

3. Purple wheels (I guess this would be annodized?).
-To paint or annodize it about 100 a wheel.

1100 to 1500 covers only the install and paint...still gotta pay for the full body kit.

:iagree:

in for pics of the finished product, to each his own.

I guess you are serious, so here is the likely cost.

1. The full-body kit.

Depends on the kit. A real Powerhouse Amuse kit for example, could run you around $5,000. Replica around $2,000? A full Stillen kit could run you around $1,200.

2. Lime-green paint with purple highlights.

It's a custom paint, so price will vary depending on the paint you use. A high quality paint job that includes all the sills and under the hood could run as high as $8,000-$10,000 to paint the entire car. You can probably find a shop that can do it cheaper, but as with anything, you get what you pay for.

3. Purple wheels (I guess this would be annodized?).

You can probably find aftermarket wheels that meet your criteria. High quality wheels can run anywhere from $2,000-$5,000 depending on size. You'll probably need another $1,200 or so for tires, mounting and other misc. stuff.

its all depends on what it is that you are trying to achieve.

if you do a stock repaint job it will be alot more cost efficient than to go with a completely new color.

im getting my car painted atm with amuse body kit and fenders (thnx Jamaica) and the paint it self is costing me 3.2k. i did the body work myself for the most part so saved a few hundred bucks.

but to add everything in prospective you are looking at around 6-8k with the price of body kit included.

Lime green + gun metal headlights/rims would be good.. the purple.. eh :/ have fun with it.

Yikes, this is looking expensive... d'oh!

I may just go with replacing the front bumper; the rear bumper only has a small ding in it, so it can probably be salvaged.

I'm going to swing by the Nissan dealer tomorrow and see what the prices are like for the bumper, then I'll get a quote for a full paint job from a local shop, and I'll go from there. I wouldn't be half surprised if Nissan charges the same price for a replacement bumper as a full body kit lol.

Any recommendations for some light-weight wheels?
