700 isn't that much of a rip off if it's done at a good body shop. the painting part isn't such a big deal as it takes time to prep the parts for paint. i'd do 700 for a good paint job with a lifetime warranty, but not at maaco.

To checkout any business have a look to see if they are a BBB member. Companies that have a good reputation will be listed as a BBB member. Also you should be able to check if they have any previous complaints and their resolution.

IMO you should get the kit painted with the car, shouldnt take them much longer and they'll prolly only charge you for a lil extra time and the extra paint since it's all gunna be the same color

wow where you guys stay at ... they charge like a mutha F***** haha when i got my integra sprayed to a super sonic blue w/ white pearls i got it for 2400.. and then i decided to add the ws kit around and i got all four pieces done for about 350 oo and i managed to ask them to paint a combat rear bumper of mines too... you guys are sayin 500-700 .. u guys must be nuts.. maaco does sucks.. my homeboy got his hatch done there cause he was broke.. and i told him he should of saved a bit more to get a better legit paint job... 700 is too much bro... for a kit only? save a lil more and get a whole car's paint job
