Swapping skirts... Options

[Sh0gunkid8721]

Right now im in the middle of shopping around to find an autobody shop that can swap sideskirts for me. Changing Invader to Boomer. Ive been quoted at 400 and 500 from 2 different shops. The 2 body shops quoted me that much because the previous bodyshop drilled 2 holes near the rear quarter panels to secure the skirts perfectly and then shaved the screw so you couldnt see it. To anybody with body work experience; are these reasonable prices to get this kind of work done? Im thinking about just getting it done but i dont want to be ripped off at the same time either.

I'd say yes because I paid around $750 to put my skirts and extensions on. It depends on the materials used and bodywork involved to get the skirts on as good as possible.

I'm paying $250 to have my front lip put back together (cut in two pieces), painted, and installed. I can't imagine skirts being much more... but since they did drill into the side of the car, it will take some more man hours... so if those quotes include paint then I would say go for it.
