The kit will cost you about $1200 brand new, which u can get from places such as www.ssv.com.au and www.asv.com.au
To spray and fit the kit is a different matter and isn't so easy to give an estimate. If they have problems fitting the kit (as its more then likely going to be fibreglass) then they'll charge you extra. Roughly though, it should cost again about $1200+. I had an original SS kit (which means its plastic, not fibreglass) with some colour coding done and extra parts included, sprayed and fitted for just about grand, so it won't be less then that.

To respray the car will cost you well over $3000, unless you do all the prep work yourself.

hey mate, if you have a look around you'll find that vt-vx-vy clubby kits are pretty easily bought for about $800-(i wont say, way too much) these days.. ebay can sometimes help in finding less well know fibreglassing places, which will sell their kits for alot less than the big places.
also if your not too shabby with a screw driver you should easily be able to fit the kit yourself with the help of a mate (to hold pieces in place..etc.).

I was looking at a body kit for my VR a couple of days ago. I rang a place up and the quote came to about $2800, fitted & sprayed with a wing. They need my car for a couple of hours to match the paint. After that they paint the parts (about three days) then back for half a day for fitting. Here's the URL if you want to have a look. Photos too:

thats alot just to supply,spray and fit a bodykit man...especially in s/e qld, where there's that many places around the competition keeps prices down.
have a look around and you should be able to find a kit and get it sprayed for under $2k easy and then fit it yourself, its so damn easy you'd cry if you paid someone else to do it then found out how simple it is.

Hey I recently purchased SS skirting, is it a bitch to install? I suppose you would have to start drilling into the plastic, but the sides can be more difficult, colour coding hopefully shouldn't cost a lot.
