I think it depends on how much paint matching they would have to do.. How discolored is your black from its original state? Will they be doing all of the prep? ie Allignment/ fitment, prep, paint, and install?

If they are, I'd have to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $900-1800..

That depends on your area and who you know.. At one time I was going to have a xenon 4-piece kit installed on mine and a full paint job (same color) and I was quoted $2300 for the kit, bumpers, and everything.. BUT My dad and I are good friends with the painter..

All I can tell you is to call around, if you can do it, have them paint everything and install it yourself.. Would be MUCH cheaper..

stay away from fiberglass bumpers. shell out the extra cash for the poly stuff.

too much prep work is needed for fiberglass and once they crack repairing is expensive as well

I've heard the Saleen part's need ALOT of prep work which is going to cost you.

lookin at 300 - 350 for each of the bumpers and 200 - 250 for the side skirts... thats at a quality shop... sure you can find someone to do it for cheaper, but dont skip or you will regret it until you can afford to have it redone and make sure you know what you are getting for your money going to want quality paint and the right primers to hold up to the rock chips... ask around and find some one you trust dont go into the situation blind...
