Ok so I went to get an estimate today at one of those commerical-sized places... Holy crap, I new it was going to be expensive but the guy quoted me AT LEAST $2000. WTF? I'm going to try some other places because no way it should cost that much. The guy didn't even know how a body kit was put on so I'm hoping he was just being VERY conservative.

Yea, they're usually just screwed on and also applied with double sided tape... But man you really got the shaft with them painting them on the car.. I mean the transition is more subtle and looks good but it would probably be impossible to keep them from cracking at the seams plus hard to mold in since it's plastic bumper cover and fiberglass ground effects..

well if you look closely at his pics and description, the previous owner had the body kit painted on the car, so there is going to be a problem when removed,
