How much should this cost??PAINT/BODY

i just want TCC's advice on how much a body/paint shop should charge for this job

re-clear my car (to remove the factory orangepeel)

pull some(very) minor dents out

install a honda performance lipkit (factory form fitted and comes painted)

install TYC headlights

...and i know i could do the kit and the lights myself but i'd rather have a pro do it

just give me a price range it should cost me?

I would call Martino brothers (TCC affiliate) and ask them to give you an idea.

Adrian, your an idiot !


Your car is pretty much new and you wanna re-clear it? Ever hear of a polish and buffing !?


It is getting annoying that you wanna waste your money with that guy ! But do what you want, you barely have any dents as well.....honestly, I tell you alot what you should do, but that guy keeps calling you and giving you bul**** information cuz he wants money ! He is a business owner, obviously he is going to tell you **** so that he gets money outta you

if u want the orange peel out it would be best to get it wetsanded n compounded, no need to re-clear since ur car is still fairly new.
