I got quoted the following for the mods listed from a very reputable shop with quality work & customer service.. same guy that did my wheels

Painting headlighs $326
Painting the grille $217
Painting taillights $163
Painting Low section of rear bumper (Rear Valance style) $136

$842 in total

So what do you guys think of the prices.. They'll also take around 4-5 days to complete

 

Sounds good. I would try to talk them down to $15 - $20 off each mod. You plan to refer people to them if they do good work. Right?

 

Headlights no, grille HELL no, tailights yes, valence so so...

 

damn that looks a little steep, but i'm not from where you're from Sam

you pay a premium for all that after market stuff anyways

 

of course, especially with the headlights.. I dont know anyone thats half as good as Igor with those headlights

 

or should i just order me some bat overlays and call it a day?

 

headlights aint bat as long as its warrantied from moisture
grill is too much
tails is ok, could be cheaper
rear valance aint to bad either...but i hope this is him doing all the labor also....if so then not bad...its a shop and they will charge by the hour...hope this helps!!

 

whatever floats your boat.... i love the overlays but some other people swear by the painting... i didn't want to paint because then it's something i can't revert back to stock if i had to... without buying new lights

 

Sorry buy anything for 300+ on headlights is a rip off. Try to get it under 300 w the warranty.

 

I charge $250 to fully black out headlights, $305 with black housing and colormatched projector shroud, shipping is $100 one way. If you want, I can send you a pair of pre-painted headlights, and you send me back yours at your cost, but then you're paying $200 in shipping, not sure if its worth it for you or not, all depends on what type of guarantee the shop can give you.

To paint the grille, I charge $100 for all black or $150 for black and a color of your choice on the emblem or the top or bottom bars.

Taillights, sounds like a good deal to me.

 

and it aint just any shop..look at the kind of shiat they do! http://www.chrome-and-carbon.net/

 

The headlight price probably includes a lot of labor time and that adds up quick. Same probably goes for the grill. Good materials are real pricy too. I'd say that's about right in total price.

Go with the paint. You won't be happy with the overlays.

 

Igor, I think I'm gonna make a trip to New York and get some mods. Can you squeeze me in?

 

www.g35nyc.com

sign up there..might be easier, make sure u put my name in there!!..hit him up there...

 

Your market over at Dubai is different that what it is here, so it's hard to say what's a fair price.

Shop around over there and compare to a few before you commit.
