The very 1st day that i can acutally wear a T-shirt outside in NYC im going to get a body kit. Im just curious on how the process works. Do i put money down then wait for it to come in da shop? I wanna know the average cost after tha paint job and installation, grand total . . Thanks in Advance . .

My first attempt, I was quoted around $4,000.00, at least. I was looking into the L-sportline body kit which include the front bumper,front grill,side skirts,& rear bumper.That figure would include the whole set,painted & installed. I did not committ because I was looking for the pic of their first 2 projects which they can't show to me. I even asked for referral list of other customer and would like to arranged to look at their GS.I was 50/50 that time and I also read somewhere here that Carson Toyota is selling the whole kit cheaper.(<$1,700.00?) This is the way I wanna go and let my lexus bodyshop do the painting,then get someone to install .By the way,the Lexus bodyshop I spoke with can install ONLY OEM parts but agree to do the painting for me. Cheaper alternative is, look for other GS owners who has the bodykit that you like and repaint and install.Some owners might end their lease and not purchase the car ,so they can remove the bodykit and sell.I like the "veilside" bodykit very much(xcept the front bumper) but they are in fiberglass
ONLY when I inquired.

i went and ordered the kit (RMM) front bumper , back bumper side skirts and front grill 4 $1600.00, than painting install was a little over $1200.00, if u have the blue gs it will cost a little more to paint than say a black , silver or white, cus our color is a 2 paint multy coat process, from what i was told. something like a pearl white process so they charge more.

WoW . . So BLUELEX, im looking at a price about $3000 you can say . . dats more than i thought but i guess its worth it. I didnt know the blue paint job was gonna b pricey either. WoW!

well, remember u live in n.y. u have much more shops around u plus there is a lot of good shops in n.j. as well, thats where i used to live. so mayb u can get it done cheaper. ask around 2 some cl members from n.y. or n.j. mayb they can lead u to a good but not so xpensive shop plus some members have family that own shops or work at shops that might help u to. good luck at let me know.

Hey guys,

He is absolutely right. I am in central NJ and know of at least three EXTREMELY good shops right near me. No doubt though, you definetly have to pay for the right look. Go to a shady place, you'll get a dhady job done. PM me if your really serious, I can help you out.
