Areo Kit Install

Well I am thinking about getting an aero kit and was wondering the cost to get it painted along with the wheel arches. I want to save as much money as possible so i plan to do the install by my self. Does anyone know any good places in Southern California (OrangeCounty). And any tips would be appreciated



Thanks

this thread should help: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...light=aero+kit


any good paint shop can do this, you will just have to look around in your area and find a good one. ask to see there work. and i would tend to go with a place that does more custom work rather than a place that does just repairs. hope that helps. good luck

The onsite body shop at Long Beach Mini regularly installs factory aero kits. They charge $1,150 to install and paint, plus $300 to sand and paint the fender flares. I just had an Orciari body kit painted and installed by them. My only complaint was the fender flares. They didn't spend enough time sanding the flares, so I wound up with a matte finish instead of the high gloss finish like the rest of the body. They'll tell you this is the best they can do on the flares because they have a pebble grain finish on them. However, I've talked to others who had these same flares sanded smooth to a high gloss paint finish.
