Hmmm.... I paid about 450 bucks to have everything done, so I'd say maybe 250-300 at most. The 450 on mine included:

- Rear Valance
- Decklid Panel
- Side Skirts
- Front Valance
- Upper Grille
- Lower Grille

I took mine to Maaco. I got a lifetime guarantee on the paint and clear coat. If it ever starts to fade I can take it back and they'll do it again for free. But, they used the highest grade paint they had so it shouldn't be an issue. I got it back in less than 24 hours also. Not bad huh?

Maaco really? Do you think that have the factory colors too? The lifetime warranty is great since Im sure the side skirts will get F@#%ed up since my plastic ones take a beating already.

They can do any color code you give them. I say go for it!

I'm pretty sure they just left all the parts on and carefully masked around them. It looks really good though. I looked on the inside of the door jam to make sure they got the inside of the side skirts and it looked perfect.

That looks really good. I've never been a fan of the 10's with the black plastic painted but I really like this! I think the two tone helps a lot in not making it look to thick.

You would have to have lived under a rock for the past decade (or longer) to not know who Master Chief is.

They didn't use you Cheif cause they didn't want to pay you the royalties. A fictional character works cheaper than a real one.
