How much should I expect to pay in terms of labour?

Amuse370z · 02-07-2011, 06:48 AM

I have absolutely no experience in installing bodykits, CBEs, etc. I'll feel more comfortable knowing that it was installed professionally too. $1000 sounds pretty steep though.

One more question, how close to the shade of white can they paint the Amuse kit? I've always had black cars so this hasn't been an issue for me, but I have noticed white cars don't usually have the colours matched 100%, the shade of white might be a little off?

depends on how good the shop is.

The guy that is going to repaint my car pearl white has repainted the bumpers of several GT-Rs because the pearl white on the GT-Rs have MAJOR color differences on the bumpers. something to do with nissan not using white primer or too thin or something. I know he can paint it without color differences.

Wow, this is making me nervous. Even stock nissan GT-Rs have colour differences.

its strickly due to the flake... too much flake equals darker... too light of flake equals too bright. simple as that.
