@Sffd103 - Yea he told me if i choose not to get it prepped up meaning getting the imperfections out than it would run me $183. IM going to have it prepped up and have all the imperfection filled in and sanded out. As for fitment goes, it looks alright nothing too major

Yea this place does good work and their price is reasonable too. I had my LXmode grill/Surround, roof spoiler and vertex tunk lip all painted for $175

Quick silly question, the side skirts should be installed on stock sides? I heard you can do without it.
