My RMM kit is in the process of being installed now. The front and rear bumper, side skirts, and my Junction Produce roof spoiler are $800 for paint and install. I'm also having some subtle "rounding off" touches around the fr/rr bumper and skirts near the wheelwells. Also, when I had it test fitted the shop said it was one of the better kits they've seen. Hope this helps you out.
Good luck...and good choice. (ha ha)

GSWANTED,

just wondering if you are going to also install the bumper lenses on the RMM kit? I know some people do not put them back on the car once the kit is on. I am going to put them back on, just thought I let you know.

Lettuce,
No, I didn't think of those ahead of time so I didn't instruct them to put them back on. Should look cool though.

Cool man, no problem. I've been meaning to ask you what new you have going on since I didn't see your car when a few of us met up on Sunrise. I've seen a couple of your pics/threads but still curious on what wing you decided to go with after your bad experience.
I think some folks are talking about meeting up this weekend but I'll be down in the bay area.
Take care, jd

Since I started this thread i will give you all an update: So this past week since i ordered the RMM kit I have been searching for a good shop to paint and install. I went to one shop, that seems that every other shop recommends, called "Mr' G's." They do customization, restoration, show cars, and other types of body work and paint. They use all the top quality stuff while painting. European paint booth, and so forth.

I didnt have the kit with me to show the shop manager but this is the suggestions he gave:

We will be able to match the DWP color very closely, if not 100%. -great, I thought.

We can garantee that there will no paint flaws, dirt or imperfections. -wonderful, I thought.

We have done similar cars with the same 3 stage paint process numerous times, we are very experienced. - Awesome, I thought.

If you dont like it to your satisifaction we will repaint it for you, but not more than twice. Okay, I thought.

We will test fit the kit, before we paint. Good, I thought.

We will install the kit, and make it look perfect. wonderful, I thought.



Since I cant see the kit right now, from what I told you, your looking to pay 1,800.00 to 2,000 dollars for everything. *****, THAT'S MORE THAN THE KIT COST!! I said. Are work is exceptional!! I took his business card and left.

He then compared my previous paintings(roof spoiler, lip spoiler) and said, that whomever painted your spoilers should have gave you your money back, they can do 100000% better. I thought that spoilers look pretty good IMHO. except for a few dirt specs.


should i look somewhere else, or actually let them do it, since they claim to be so good>

That's way too much, that's why they give you a free re-paint.

I paid $600 for pinting and installation. RMM kit fits perfectly, if I'm going to redo my painting, I'll do the installation myself.

HAHA this is a funny thread on the RMM kit.

So time for me to chime in and give credit, where it is due.

Let's see.

Lettuce>>GSWanted>>Bluelex>>JacobT>>RMMGS4 ??

We'll that's kinda sorta the order.

As far as who inspired me?

Well when I first saw pics of the GS on the Rod Millen site, I liked the car so much I bought it from RMM.

The rest is history.

well since EVERYBODY sees/has seen your model car you don't count. LOL
you're basically the tyra banks, halle berry, penelope cruz (insert your favorite beauty) here...the envy of EVERYBODY since EVERYBODY has seen your car when going to the practically ANY site that advertises the RMM kit. LOL not to mention the VERY NICE, quality improvements you've made since buying it.
we're not worthy. LOL
