Typical cost to install Rocket Bunny Kits
 

As the title states i'm curious what shops have been charging people for Install only and Paint + install. I did do a search and found nothing as far as pricing except for those typical people who say $5000+ for install/wheels/suspension, if anyone can chime in on what they personally paid for the installation of the kit that would be awesome!


(don't have the balls to cut my own fenders).

$3000 for paint and install.

Plus $3,000 for the kit - minus wing

You can get it all painted for less than $800. Install quotes range from $1800 to $2500

Not a version 2. Version 2 comes with complete front bumper and alone that piece cost $500 to paint. The smaller pieces are $300 for the pair of front fenders and $300 for the rear pair. The diffuser is $250 and wing is $200. The rest of the cost is cutting fender and fitting.

I guess the other question is "What does the OP want painted on the rocket bunny kit (every part, just fenders, fenders sides and front lip, etc)?"

Thats not too bad.


I work for a dealership that has an autobody shop so whatever the cost of painting the kit is i get 20% off that price so the paint is cheap for me. Its the install that gets the more expensive part. All i would need would be the fender install, i can throw on the bumper and diffuser myself, i think the V2 wing is ugly as fuck so i'll just sell it unpainted to recoup like 33% of the cost of painting.

Don't forget wheels, suspension, and second car (if DD).

Wheels and suspension is going to be $2500 at most, i would have the work done before i got rid of my current DD (don't even own a FRS but i'm in the market if costs are reasonable).

Kira not on yet but got quoted 2000 fenders installed painted and the rest of the kit all black, which I chose to keep black.

v1 or v2? which parts installed just the fenders or whole kit?

Don't know what kind of coilover setup or wheels your looking at but with that kind of budget your going to end up with suspension that's rickety and wheels that will shatter on impact or not fit well. Having a set of wheels that will fit right under the RB fenders without spacers will require specialty wheels in the likes of AG, WORK Wheels, SSR and so forth that typically start around $2800+. I believe your looking closer to around $4500+ in budget for quality wheels and suspension alone unless your looking to put $500 Raceland coilovers and $1400 Rota wheels/tires with $250 50mm spacers.

That $2500 won't even get normal width 17"/18" wheels with tires and decent suspension.

Can confirm, been looking at wheels, tires, and suspension lately.

The bolded makes me think you're really, really not ready to jump into the rocketbunny fray.

:cheers:

Whole kit on fenders painted and the rest of the kit black. No wing either

Also you don't want to go cheap on coilovers honestly with such an aggressive offset and stance your getting with the kit a lot of people are either running Stance,BC or kw and wheels alone your ball parking for 2500 and that's for something alright. For my work miester s1r got quoted 4800 with a homie hook up 18x9.5 -15 front and 18x10.5 -50 the kit isn't expensive it's just getting the right fitment from the wheels coilovers, your gonna get control arms, toe arms, to get things right and also extended studs and tires are gonna be a huge factor cause your going wide.

Unless you're going for replica wheels, save up more. If you're able to afford the kit then you should be able to afford the wheels.

Stance coils are $1000 and I'm not getting big lipped wheels, there are plenty of good looking wheels out there that will fit just fine with use of small spacers for $1900 a set.

Don't forget tires.

Captain Obvious here

If your willing to buy knockoffs like Rota's, you won't get far with that budget if your shopping Rays, Work or BBS rims.

Not gunning for any of those brands.

$9,700 is a good budget for a rocket bunny v2 build.
4,150 for the kit, 2,000 for paint/install, $3,000 for name brand wheels and quality spacers if needed, and good tires $550.

Good tires for $550? In widths appropriate for the wide wheels to properly fit an RB car I'd bet on at least $1000-$1250

Decent tires that will just work since he's trying to cut corners.

May want to consider car depreciation before cutting it up. It wont gather the value of the RB kit more like take that cost off an already rapidly depreciating car. Just a thought. If your not ballin don't pretend to be.

Thank you! :D I'm just putting my input in cause I'm doing a build. Have a great day!

Sounds about right although your missing suspension in there somewhere unless you run cut springs. To have a RB kitted car to look good you have to be slammed with the proper wheels. A 4x4 RB kitted car looks like crap.

I don't have an RB kit althought even before putting money down on a kit, I've already spent $1800 on Stance Pro Comp 2 coilovers, $500 on Stance Rear lower control arm, $2000 on a Air CUP system for the front, $3700 on wheels + tires (to fit under stock fenders). That's quite a bit just to get the suspension and wheels ready for any kit.

Yeah I defiantly agree. If I ever did a rb kit I would defiantly run an air kit. I've added all up if I did it with everything is want it'd be about $12,000 which is crazy considering once you resell it'll be the same price as any used Frs unless you find a crazy rich enthusiast.

First off you dont need a $2000 air cup system and $1800 coils, just get airride in the first place and save yourself $500 and all the hassle. You dont need $3000 wheels to run a rocket bunny kit, they can be cheap as fuck as long they are the proper spec.

A or B? Hint one spent more than the other. You decide.

Just your dignity

How can you even compare them? A. is static and is at a "functional" ride height and looks just fine. Of course B. looks better but thats because its on air. Its hard to compare static cars to bagged cars.

@raytrix
I agree with OP. Your comparison is shit. "A" wasn't even finished in that picture.

What you talking about? A is finished. Here's another professional shot he took. Wheel gap can be viewed differently depending on angles. If you want to ride static this is to be expected.

Here's another angle.

Reason for that crazy stretch is because he went with a wider or meatier tire, the rear bumper finisher will rip right off. V1 wasn't very throughout when it was initially designed as a show piece. Street functions are out the door unless you ride on air or ride a little bit higher than usual. V2 resolved the finisher issue by elongating the rear piece further down before curving in to allow for more tire to clear the fender when you compress over a bump.

Wheel gap was fixed...your pictures are out dated.

Reviving this thread. I'm looking to get just the front fenders are rear fenders from the rocketbunny v1 aero kit installed a painted. Would like to know what I might be paying before I go through and buy the kit, thanks!

You would save a bunch if you did the install yourself. It actually isn't too hard as long as you have proper tools and should only take about a weekend.
There are also a few videos I just found on YouTube showing you all the steps to the install.

I spend a total of around $700 for my install and the kit. Price would've been lower, but I bought my kit before another company came out with the same kit half the price of mine.
Total includes:
Replica kit (~$430 but you can get the IKONs motorsport kit on the forums for $200)
Rivet nuts, bolts, and sealer ($45)
Plasti dip ($200)
Other supplies I thought I would need ($20)

Thanks! I may look into it. I'm just afraid of messing something up because this isn't anything like I have done before. Definitely worth a shot and a good way to spend my summer! :D

Also, I will be picking up ikons kit. It looks to be getting a lot of positive comments.

Sure thing man! There isn't really much you can mess up on, you have a lot of area that the kit actually covers so you don't have to worry about cutting too much. Just make sure everything is sealed up so no water gets into places that it doesn't need to be.

paid $4000(CAD) to have front bumper, front and rear fenders painted and installed for my V3 kit :)
