I just had mine re-painted (the 02' pewter convertible) from a reputable shop that also charges more for their work. The front and sides were around $550. You should be able to get it ALL done for about that.

The rear bumper is spiderwebbing so i am going to have a friend prep it and have the shop repaint it with the kit and the front bumpers nose is peeling under the emblem so its needs redoing. i guess that will bump it up a little.

When they paint a kit like the xenon do the paint it then put it on or paint it on the car?

Re: Cost to paint GFX

it's much easier to paint before they install, that's what they'll do, if you're having your nose or rear bumper painted, however, they may be likely to prime those parts, and then install, then paint, because if there is any adhesive used to install your kit it will stick more easily to the primer than to a clear coat. It depends on the shop though.

You may be able to save some money if you remove the nose and rear and have them paint those and then reinstall them and have them install the gfx for you, but if this isn't something that you are capable or comfortable with doing, then don't. Ask the shop if it would be cheaper before doing also, b/c they won't have to do any masking if the parts are removed so they may, or may not charge more or less.

Yep they paint and then install the kit which is the best way of doing it.
