Need A estimate on cost

i was looking into getting a lip kit or a body kit for my Balt and i know the prices of kits i was just trying to get a rought estimate on how much install and pain would run me. i know lip kit wold be cheaper/easier but i want a more unique look, i was guessing paint and install would run my close to 800-1000 bucks.

does anyone know roughly off hand what it would cost?

paint.... depends on the quality of the work they do.. probably around 400 for paint

honestly i meant around 400 for the whole body kit... just the lip kit.. around 200..
all depends if the body or the lip kit needs any work.. or just primed and painted.. my estimates are priming and painting at a good shop.

the rk sport lip kit is about 500$ plus whatever shipping is, then paint should be about 500$ for a decent job. You should really consider installing it yourself, it will probably save you 100$ or so

why don't you look for a stock bumper from someone who has upgraded to a body kit?
