Not exactly sure because I had some other damage fixed (door dings, etc.) but I would guesstimate around $1100-1200. I will dig up the receipt and get you a more firm answer, but I can tell you it was right in-line with what they quoted me.

Hopefully that wasn't an occupational joke?! I'm still at work since we're doing the whole 12 hour thing now. For some reason I thought you were talking about my signature.

Back on Topic:

I just got my painted Nismo replica wing back today so I am going to try and make it down there late this week or this weekend to get the rest of the kit fitted. If you want I can let you know exactly when I am going to be able to go down there if you want to check out the shop and ask some questions.

I don't know. I had the wing painted by a friend who works for the Findlay Auto Group Body Shop.

Dropped my car off today at Winner's Circle. The guy seemed kind of shady to me. My girlfriend thought he said they charge $38/hour, he told me that he would charge me for 5 hours and it would be around $600 for just install and fitting. Thats $120/hour and thats rediculous. I am going to call him right now and see if he can explain to me why they are carging $120/hour.

Ok I called them and they confirmed that they charge $38/hour. Then I asked them how the 5 hours they quoted me added up to $600. The guy was suprised to hear that I got quoted 5 hours so he was going to talk to the manager, who is the one that quoted me and call me back. Stay tuned...

Just got a call back. Aparently his quote of 5 hours was just for the first fitting, then they have to take it off, shave it, put it back on, and so forth. He also informed me that calculate hours by how long it would take the installer to do it twice, which I don't agree with. If your installer doesn't get it right the first time, why should I pay for the second. All in all, I still think that their pricing is a little steep, but whatever, my car is already there. This further proves my point that I WILL NOT take my car to any shops in Vegas from now on.

It is crazy. I don't know why California has so many good shops and Vegas can't get a single one. The only good shop/person I have found is a stereo guy.

UPDATE:

I went and saw the car with the kit installed. Aparently that kit was really shitty and warped (thanks Aarif lol). They did a really good job with it and it looks awesome. They had to use filler and mold some of the pieces of the kit that cracked so now it has to be painted on the car. Hopefully it will be done Thursday before I leave for California, but if its not, I will have it back on Monday. I took some preview pics that I will post when I get home.
