All you body shop pros...

How long does it usually take to get extended bumble bee stripes, new hood painted, front splitter added and painted, side skirts added and painted, and a new rear spoiler added and painted along with the painted stripes? A rough estimate would be nice if anyone can help me out....

Always depends on the shop and work load. If it's the only car in the shop then 3 days is possible.(barely) Does the shop specialize in custom/aftermarket or just a regular collision shop?

Well only if its a custom type shop. If it was a collision shop then 1-2 weeks if I was guessing. But still 1 week, or even 2 is ample amount of time to have that done, unless they are extremely busy with insurance work. You should go there and check out the progress imo, and find out why they haven't completed yours, and don't let em give you the run around.
