How much???

I'm planning on getting the aero kit installed in my car. So far the only price I know is $1000 for the kit. However, I don't know how much installation and paint would be though. I also plan on getting the arches painted too. I'm just looking for how much I would have to save up.

Thanks in advance

Haven't done it myself, but here's a discussion by some who have:

You could easily offset the price of painting arches by doing the install yourself. If you are even remotely knowledgable about using a screw driver () you could do the installation. They probably charge a ton to install it for you. Save that money and put it to painted arches

Do it !

Hey Chan! First, it was good to meet you at the Woodbridge show last week.

I myself paid $1500. That included preparing the arches and painting them, install and paint of the Mini aerokit. I say do it ! You wont regret it

Yea it was a pleasure meeting you too Port. It was a shame that there weren't any other Minis at the car show. But your car looked sweet. It just has a nice clean look to it. Thanks for giving me an estimate to how much I'm probably going to be paying.

Hey no prob! And thanks for the compliment. My friends say the same thing "all your cars look so cleanly modified". I guess thats the way i like it. And yea, i was the ONLY mini in the whole show !

Anyway, that amount is what I paid. However, id shop around and get a few estimates from reputable bodyshops in your area. You may be able to get the same work for cheaper. Ive been told a few times that the place i went to (AzevedoMotorsports.com in Linden) does excellent work, BUT they tend to be expensive. Just giving you a heads up.

Vic
