If it's already painted, you might as well fit it yourself. It's as easy as removing the old and wacking on the new. If it's not painted and you're going to get someone to paint it, then it's probably more feasible to have them fit it too. Usually it's not much more to fit.

if you want quality Queen St is the shop, their work speaks for itself

and ofcourse they are going to charge $350 to paint a front bar when they have cars coming in for full resprays

Yes Queen St 's work is goo and well knowen for it, But maybe it's just me but I don't like use places where I don't like the people and if the guys at Queen St where any more up them selves they would be in side out. But at least you know your getting good work done.

What do they have to do with each other? Who cares they do one then the other or both at the same time with different people doing them. :roll:

Any panel shop thats half good can fit and paint a body kit with no problems

Dude get you bar fitted 1st then pull it off and get it painted I'm yet to see a body kit fit perfect 1st go

Queen st would be a waste of time, no need to take it to a known workshop someone who would be happy to do such a small job is to perfect for what your asking and depending on the price if its to much fit it yourself its a piece of cake no doubt

hey are you the guy that bought gamer(lewy's) gold 180???

Have a chat to dave down at mfx, you should be more concerned with a good job rather than a cheap job. www.mfx.com.au

If its an MFX kit have a go at fitting it yourself, there is no hidden secrets just some time and patience involved. With basic hand tools and perhaps a cordless drill there is no reason why you can't have a go.

Might take you several hours but its all experiance.
