For those who had their side skirts painted

I got a quote today for $200. Wondering how much everyone else who had this done paid. Think this is a good price? Thanks!!

I think you may be past the date on that one. It was about two years ago.

Your car doesn't have to be at the shop when they do it. Just pop off your side skirts at their shop and be on your way. Unless you're that self conscious about driving around with no side skirts, I don't see you losing any of your Suby time while you're getting those painted.

Bought myself BRAND NEW painted side skirts for my 04 WRX from Subaru Genuine Parts @ $220. Then, I sold my stock black sideskirts for more than half that amount... :-D

the reason the price seems high is because you're paying a lot for the setup. They have to mix the paint and whatnot and this is a flat charge for any work. Thats why group buys for this are much cheaper because then the ~$150 setup fee can be spread throughout however many people there are.

I got an estimate to get some body work done and I had them throw my morettes on the estimate and it raised it like $50, but alone they would be over $200

For all you guys who had it done for <150, did they resurface your sideskirts also? I had mine done while I had some other stuff painted, they resurfaced them then painted and it came out to about 200 and they look great.
