The estimate you are requesting really depends on where you go and varies a lot.
You can actually find a guy with a lot of experience and let him install, mold or do whatever needs to be done to the wide body at his house, then see if he can rent a paint booth and paint your car, you can even buy the kind of paint that best fits your budget.
I'm telling you this because this is what I usually do, and here where I live, you get quality paint jobs for 1500, installing a wide body here would be another 500 or so.

also got rid of the lambo doors and plan on going back to 97 tails back to the basics for me

The front bumper has to be a WIDE BODY front bumper. No other bumper fits. I have and tested this myself on my Ridge Wide Body before I took it off.
What you see in the pictures you have of my white widebody car cost $4500~ for that kit and balloon white paint.

Go around shops to ask and then take a look at some of their work, then pick the most reputable/fairly priced one. Asking here will only get you ballpark figures with no sense of how it can possibly turn out.

gorjusguy your car looks great as is---great color---very clean and classy
that widebody kit takes away from the look if you ask me--
especially the front -----just looks cheesy to me
just my opinion --no offense of course
for the amount of money this widebody kit will cost you with the actual cost of the kit--the body work--the paint-and any other unforseen costs-----it is simply not worth it----your car looks great as is
good luck either way

Ok CL heres the verdict I had one of NYC best custom shops take a look at the car and kit I gave them an idea of what i wanted and all the custom goodies 
they told me they will take the car whole car apart to make sure everything is perfect ailgn the doors because I took the lambo doors off diaster 
,roll the fenders and paint the engine bay and jamb Perfect show quality. The color im thinking of is starfire pearl 
they said it will take a month and cost $6000 
what do u think members price to much?
