That's expected.

Painting alone is about $500. Body work for the door, sideskirt, and fender is another $500.

If you find something that is a couple hundred dollars less, I still suggest using Backyard Creations. Joe doesn't f'ck-up on anyone's car...

Check out Ron's Body Shop.

310-618-8791
1420 Cabrillo Ave
Torrance, CA 90501

They are the recommended body shop for South Bay Lexus. They did the body panel work for me last time, done a decent job and the paint turned out perfect.
