The body shop down the street just quoted me $2000 to paint my SVT side skirts, front and rear bumper covers and put them on my car. I just looked at the guy like he was insane, and promptly left. Is this guy insane? A side note though was that he was putting a body kit and custom paint job on a cobra SVT when I was there. Yellow with wide black ss stipes... it was hawt to say the least

And that was just paint, no work on the car done. I just dropped off the parts and pick them up 2 days later. Did the removal and mounting myself.

That's like slave labor prices right there. Go for it. Tony 1998 SVT Contour (B/MB) #542 3L 1998 SVT Contour (SF/MB) #1266 parts car 2000 SVT Contour (SF/MB) #1533 3L swap to begin!

Did the removal and mounting myself. $2000 is insane, when for under $4k you could have the entire car painted. The bumpers and sideskirts don't make up 1/2 of the entire car. And $600 for a bumper and oval paint? You guys need to make more friends in the automotive world! Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq
