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.

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
