Adding up my work.........

depends on quality of the job, whether you're keeping your original paint or changing colors.. body kits.. dunno about pricing.. usually over 1000 for a complete kit.. for mounting, probably not over 300 if there isn't retrofitting to be done (which is hard to come by on protege body kits). also if you need body work.. ie dings, scratches, a primer coat.. what have you, will obviously be extra. you could spend as little as 300 for an 'ambassador' paint job at maaco, but the paint job will only last a year or so before it starts to fade. it's really dependent on the condition of your car, the complications mounting of your body kit, and the kind of work the shop produces.

In all honesty, he's right. It is going to cost much more than $5k to do all these things (to do them well, anyway) and since you seem to need to have things done by other people, it's going to run you even more.
My advice, learn to get your hands dirty or prepare to get bent over by the local shops.

I have a dad who RUNS a few shops around here, and this man is working on one of his proches at the moment, and im learning **** from him, bit by bit, I am gooing to have my car in one of his garages, where we are going to work on it, and I have an uncle who drag races, and has agreed to help, so to hell with anyone that wants to crush my spirit
