This is something you should definitely not cheap out on. At a body shop expect to pay around $1200-$1500 for a good job that will last.Also, does your car have a new paint job? A car like yours (11 years old) will more than likely have faded/oxdized paint by now - your fresh painted body kit might not match the old paint.

Depends on the quality of it.If it was expensive then no more than £300 but if it is a cheap one and how u want it looking a lot more, as upon close inspection they normally have tiny holes in them and need several coats of a high build primer first to fill any imperfections.Then they will have a guide coat applied before sanding and applying top coat.You can use a body filler yourself to fill any holes and give a dust coat of a good aerosol primer this will help cut down costs.

depends on the paint u want for it and how much work has to go into the body kit to make it paintable.best thing would be take a piece to a body shop and ask them what they would charge to get it done
