If this is what you mean by painted plastic parts,




Call Peter at M7 http://www.m7tuning.com/ and he will hook you up with the paint shop that did my car in the LA area.

No, not a one.

ball park cost?
You would have to talk to Peter about the cost.

I have seen other people quote $1000 to $1500 for a non-Aero kit to get it done right.
All these parts have to be hand sanded, filled & primed to get the glass smooth look.

You need to remember unless you have the Aerokit, the cost to paint the remaining arches will be significantly different than trying to paint the oem arches, skirts, and lips. The aerokit comes primed or prepainted, the OEM parts need a lot of prep before painting.
