Default Question to those with body kits

As some of you already know, my wife backed into my car and caused quite a bit of damage to the passenger side of my car. I am thinking about getting a body kit for it now and was wondering if you can tell me what you all paid to have your kits painted and installed professionally.

Well, I got a lip kit which is far cheaper than body kits.
$250 for the front, rear, and side skirts.
$370 for paint
Installed it myself...

I think he needs to replace all the fenders and stuff, so a lip kit probably won't cut it

So are you wanting a body kit to cover up some damaged ares you don't want to fix now, or are you repairing the car to original specs and then putting a kit on?

The door is fine, it everything past that that is a bit messed. I am not going to get the bumper and crap fixed. I found a body kit and fender on ebay. I want those painted and installed (fenders, bumpers and, side skirts). Notto mention a new headlight. I have about 800 lefft over foro the cost of painting and installation. Just wondering if that would be enough.
