Need an Opinion on Shinka Body Kit Prices!!!
I got a quote from my dealer for parts, paint and install on a shinka (black cherry)
for front splash guards, side aero flares and rear spoiler - approx $1250.00
body kits are not available for the shinka....paint has to be custom d/t black cherry.. I need an opinion on the price....
thanks

The install would take ~ 2-3 hours at most for the parts (it's a simple DIY)
Get the paint code, take it to a good body shop, and see what they say....

The color match for the black cherry would be easy for any body shop. If you have the paint code it would help but that isnt even required becasue all body shops have color cards for what ever brand of paint they use. (ie PPG or House of Kolor)

No, don't let the dealer do it. Save some cash and do the install yourself. Get the paint code from the dealer, take it to a paint shop, they paint, you install. Easy black cherry pie. :D

One thing you need to think about is no matter who you have shoot the parts, metallic paints can end up looking a little mis-matched compared to the rest of the car. I've seen this on many pictures of 8's with MS front clips, especially with Velocity Red... the metal flake particles look like they're going in a different direction on the newly painted part than the original paint job in certain lighting conditions.

thanks for your point......but I may have to end up having the dealer do it because the pieces I want seem to be OEM from the appearance package (ie side and rear aero flares, front splash guards and rear spoiler) I cant seem to find anyone that has these parts primed....mazdaparts.com does not have.....can anyone point me in the right direction?
