Thousands of dollars? for what quarter skins trunk extensions and possible patches in the wheelhouses? You guys arent paying people to do your body work are you...? AAARREE YOOOOUUUU? :)
Um, have either of you priced quarters and enough paint and material to do a set of quarters recently?
A full OE style quarter is $650, for one side. AMD discontinued the skins, and a patch doesn’t cover the whole lip. If you can find a skin from Sherman or Goodmark (out of stock most places) they’re still $250 each, and of course there will be more bodywork. The outer wheelhouses are $200 each.
Even if you did all the work yourself you could be into it a grand just in body panels, and that’s doing it on that cheap. AMD quarters and outer wheelhouses and you’re into it $1800 just in metal.
And if you think you can paint both quarters with decent paint for under $1k in materials you’d be wrong.
So yeah, even doing it all yourself you could easily be into it $2-$3k depending on how much metal and what kind of paint.
