Default Removing Xenon body kit

What would you guys recommend filling the holes with once the body kit is removed?

If on the metal, welding shut is the best, for the bumpers, there is some plastic fill, and for the glass, if it contacted any, some fur and resin should take car of it.

Wonder what it would run to have someone fill the following holes:

Front fascia 6 holes
Side skirts 7 holes on each side
Rear valance 5 holes

What is the average cost of getting the entire car repainted?

Probably a decent full re-spray (same color) would be anywhere from 1500-3000+ in so cal... but I'm just guessing.

I had my car repaintedand the holes in the grill area filled in. It cost me $5100 for everything. I also had a racing strip, and some fiberglass work done. But with a decent shop I would say about $5000 for a good paint job, and all the prep work.

I have loved the kit, and it definitely sets you apart in the looks department from all the others, but I've had bad luck with keeping paint on it. I know a good paint job requires good prep, and the 2 shops I've used are screwing me by not putting the time in prep'ing it correctly. I'm gonna strip all the paint off and it will look perfect just as I bought it new. What would a fair price to ask for the whole kit be?

Has anyone else repainted their car? What was the cost and what exactly did they do?
