Default Bought a body kit and have some questions!!

Hey guys I bought a VFiber type K body kit http://www.krazykustomzonline.com/05...t-p-16144.html what you guys think??

I have a couple of questions. My car is nautical blue and I was wondering how much you think it would cost for the paint to paint it?? (I was told 6 or 700 dollors for the paint)
Also i havent looked yet but how do you put the side skirts on the car. I know the front and back bumper's can be taken off in minutes with a couple of screws and clips but are side skirts the same way??
Any info would be great thanks!!!

thats in general. however there are some nice fiberglass kits for example authentic cwest body kits like the one on the is300.

and i heard kaminari stopped producing the urethane version so if you buy it will have to be fiberglass anyway.

good luck installing it though, i think it will need some work :T
