I went to a local bodyshop today with my fiberglass 2.5RS/v5 Sti sideskirts and molded mudguards, and I got quoted ~ $1300 for molding/mounting and paint (includes molding to the frame, doing bondo work to smooth out the attachment lines so it looks like part of the frame, and re-painting front fenders to match the front mudguards)
If you've got an L with custom mounted sideskirts, would you mind telling me how much the installation at the bodyshop was? I need some reference points to determine if I should go ahead with the body work.
Btw, I have a 95 L sedan that did not come with sideskirts. See attachement pics.
Thanks,
Jon

 

you should just go to bunch of different shops and get a quote and price is an issue for you. I don't know how this one would stack up, but I know they do good work. Oh, and you might want to post your location so people can refer shops near you.

Try First Choice Auto Body in San Mateo. Speak to Ben he does good work and pay close attention to detail. Sorry don't jhave a number but just yahoo yellow page it.

 

Thanks for the recommendations. The pricing issue is what I am mainly concerned with. I was looking to spend under $1k, since I paid over $200 for the skirts already, its hard to tell what place does good work for the amount you pay. My location - Fremont/Union City

 

Hey Jon, try the place that I took my car to. Talk to Howard, tell him I sent you, and that you know Christian (the guy with the blue M3). It's called Corvette City Auto Body.
