Cost of getting front fender vent installed?

Hey, guys. I'm trying to figure out what I want to buy/do for my car, so I'm looking at possibly buying the front fender vents as seen in the link below. I'd have the installation done by the collision shop near me, they're fantastic at what they do. My question is, how much do you guys think the install would cost? It's definitely a tricky install because of the cutting, but I want to consider it anyways.

I appreciate all input,

Thanks!!

* I know that all shops have different labor costs, but I'm just looking for a rough estimate here

That is an awesome buy. You still got to get them painted. It is a simple job but have to know what your doing. There is cutting paint steps & 3M tape that has to be put on in a certain procedure to make them stay in place. And don't burn or blister the paint when cutting the pieces out. The job should not take over 5 hrs. The directions say to get a professional. I have these on my car.

Go with the painted ones and install yourself, just take your time it's really very easy to do.









Do you think they make my spoiler look small?

Cutting your fenders yourself requires balls of steel.

Yah I cut the fenders & my hood for the ACS TL1 CF insert. I taped across the hood and wrote Go ahead and cut me you don't have the balls.

Yeah, I think I'd have a heart attack if I ended up trying to install them myself

Not yet been searching for the right ones. I want to cut the gills out and run brake air lines. I'll post a pic up close. For the compliment on the car. Doing a lot of changes this winter.

Now you get a better look at the rear fake ones. But I still like them.
