How much should it cost to paint/installe a GFX Kit?

I calle done place and he said he would have to look at it to give me an accurate price, but he said it could be between $600-$800 to put on a kit dependign on how easy or hard it is! That sux if shops are charging almost as much as the kit cost just to paint and installe it.. I thought mabey $200....

i would say for just painted..at the cheapest would be around 400 to get it done right...you dont want your kit to look like crap..to avoid all of this i just bought a xenon kit already painted to match the color of my car..i will just buff it if it needs slight adjustment
