What sort of money have you guys paid to get them preped, painted and fitted, and I'm talking about quality jobs, cheers.

 

i paid 200 to have mine done but its the massive wrc one so needed a fair bit of work to get it right ,,,,,,

but it hasnt lasted very long as the fiberglass is starting to crack already

 

depends on condition to start with £150-£200 ish

 

Is that a guestimate or actual cost?

 

I was told to try and buy an original part as the cheap fibreglass ones don't last long before cracking etc... I spent a bit extra getting an original Spoiler and boot lid but it was the same colour so saved money on paint!

 

Job done

 

that is what I would expect to pay if walking in of the street to a body shop

 

Stay away from the fiberglass ones, the GRP ones are better. I got mine from scoobyworld and is really good quality.

Personally I'd be looking between £200-£300 for paint and fit. I used a paintshop that Subaru recommended. I've been down the cheaper rout and was gutted when the quality wasn't perfect.

Contact your local subaru dealer and ask who they use mate

 

I run a maindealer bodyshop and if you could get it done for that price it would be very cheap, the reason behind the thread is a work mate of mine has just purchased a large frp replica rear spoiler for his silver Toyota glanza and I said normal cost would be circa £360, he went to another respected local bodyshop and they quoted him £480, despite this he still refuses to offer me more than £40 to do the job off the books, so was wondering what you guys had actually paid for a high quality job?

 

The above was a reply to jk200sx

 

To be honest mate it could of been more, it was a while back.

Your mate needs his head looking at, I'm not an expert but wouldn't the paint be at least that.

 

If I estimated the job, I'd allow £60 for paint and materials.

 

Jarv just tell your 'mate' to go jump and fu*k off,for someone like yourself or me to do the work at the level we work at its worth £280 cash all day long

 

Got mine from Scoobyworld and would dispute the fact that it is good quality, took it to the bodyshop and the first thing he said was 'DO YOU REALLY WANT TO FIT THAT TO YOUR CAR' he had originally quoted £150 but when he saw the extra prepping required charged £200.

Pay the bit extra and get a genuine article is my advice, they quite often come up for sale on here in the for sale section.

 

Same here. My friend owns a bodyshop and pointed out all the areas that needed prepping. I Sent it back and instead he sourced me a brand new genuine GB270 spoiler at mates rate.


He said it would be roughly £200 for painting+fitting but he also accepted beer tokens

 

Admittedly, never be able to beet OE quality. I did pay a little extra for some extra prep work but the quality was a million times better than the japspeed one I originally bought.

Maybe we had different versions or batches from Scoobyworld
