Idk bout the holes & all but I'd say you are prob gonna be looking at a couple hundred to get a quality paint job. You planning on them matching the car (silver)? Or are you gonna mix it up & paint them black or something?

Expect hearing prices anywhere from $300 to $450. I wouldn't skip out on how they are attached. Last thing you want is for something to get loose.

Ok so Im having a salvage dealer friend of mine to come check it out tomorrow and give me a quote to have everything painted and put on. Do you guys think I should paint the body kit and the wing black or silver?

It all depends on your preference - you should paint the wing the same color as the car but the ground effects can either be the color of your car or most people have theirs panted Galaxy Silver for contrast. If your car is black I really think that the galaxy silver with black looks slick but some like black on black or red on red... whatever color your car is.

I'll be undertaking the same project, so I'm curious about mounting them too.

Sorry i took so long to get back to you guys but here goes the info.
The quote was priced at 300
I didnt take it tho because i found the stock pace car rims the same day, same hour, for the same price so i figued that i can always get them painted later and put on but will i ever find these wheels again for this price?lol
so i bought them and theyre in excellent condition with lots of thread left on the tires

as for mounting, the side skirts are direct replacements on the SS.not sure about the LS models because i havent checked them out.
as for the front and back, the only alternative to not making holes on the bumper would be to shave off the inserts and use 3m double sided tape.

Now, i decided to mount them with the inserts soooo does any one here know what to use to make those thin slits on the bumper?Is it a special too or a tool that does it easier than other?I figured itll be alot cheaper if i just get it painted and put the kit on myself.

heres a pic of how she looks as of now


Sorry for the bad quality, it was taken from a pretty old cell phone.lol

Lens on the camera phone may be dirty.
I've had old phones and quality never blurry... it sucked, but never blurry.

As far as i can make out, wheels look nice, in its blurry way.

Low light, easily shake the camera while it takes forever to capture could be the cause of the poor quality :P
