fibreglass,,, ahh depends on the manufacturer
VIS is wellknown so i guess it 'll be a good fit

arent u gonna paint it? u gotto make sure the thing is DAMN smooth

u might have modifications for the mounting.. b/c the stock brackets for the bumpers may have to be removed for room or whatnot... and custom brackets installed to hold unstable parts of the bumper or it'll be vibrating/shaking when ur on the highway..

anyways i did mine up at velocity
it was BS i must say

i've heard many good things about them.. maybe they were being bitches to me b/c i have a corolla and im a young student
really **** me off
both top fender brackets for my front bumper have fallen off, i fixed it myself..
also my rear bumper shakes on the highway as friend told me while he was trailing me on the highway b/c theres no braket on the right side
*** VELOCITY
i havent gave them a hassle by going back to complain, oh well..
those fuken rich asses are typical rich punks
broke a few of my things while installing also
did not pay for the damage parts it all either (clear corner+neon light+platecovers) clearcorners for a corolla isnt easy to find
fuken bs period

ALL fiberglass kits will need SOME kind of fitment/adjustment to make it fit right.

I wouldn't even know what to tell you.

It depends on the hourly rate of the shop.....how good or bad the kit fits......how good the bodyman is at making it fit.......how long it takes for him to do it.......how he fills/shaves the panels.....ect...ect...ect....


See what I mean?

The only thing I can suggest, is start looking and asking questions. In the end, only the bodyshop will only be able to give you an estimate.......and they will need to see the kit first before they will give to a more solid answer.........and even if they do quote you a price, that price will probably go up due to unxpected things like rust damage/repair.....ect...

so ur asking for a price
for doing
full body paint job <-- this really ranges, depends the quality u want n e where from $800-$5Gs
bodykit installation <-- shouldnt be too bad.. b/c its easier than it looks, trust me, i should have done it myself.. takes time though
shaved emblems <-- u can also do this urself, but takes time.. not sure of cost.. shouldnt be much either
moulded body
rolling fenders
installing an antenna

it all depends what u want, quality wise..
