Default Rk Hood Paint Estimate

For those who have had a Maggie installed, what kind of $$$ can I expect to pay to have a new (in the box) RK hood fit, painted black and installed (replacing my factory hood). I just got my 1st quote/est. from my local Chevy dealership for $577.98.

That's 4.0 hrs @ $42hr for refinish/paint new hood, 0.7hr @ $42hr for R&I hood panel, 4.0 hrs to fit and adjust the hood (4 hrs!?), plus additional work, polish panels - not related to hood, $95. I'm heading out the door to get a few more quotes, but I just wanted to see if I could get some feedback......

later

Mine cost me $500 at a local body shop that does work on high end cars.

Thanks guys, good to hear. I did get one quote for ~$450, but warned me they won't know until the get a chance to determine how much fit-up work is required on the RK hood.

Did your hood require much fit-up out of the box?

If you get a Maggie 122 you will have to notch the rear cross member of the hood to clear the rear of the supercharger. The 122 is .800" longer than a 112.
