Default Through out a Number!!! Your best Guess

I've brought my car into a number of local Body Shops who will take and install aftermarket pieces on my 993. The estimates I'm receiving back are all over the map. I feel confident with the selected candidates to do the work. Just as a poll I want to get your best guess at what you think this should cost:

Keep in mind these pieces are fiberglass and will need the appropriate sanding, prepping, painting, installation, etc.

GT3 Wing (Also requires taking off brake light basket and filling in the holes on the deck lid)
GT3 Front Splitters (brackets to strengthen the 3 piece design)
Brake Ducts (replacing the fog lenses)
Roll bar (from Powder coat to a metalic finish)

Don't know about the prices, but I'm assuming you mean GT2.

Not trying to correct you, just wanted to make sure you know what you're doing. It would be embarrassing to go back to one of these shops trying to negotiate a lower price based on your knowledge and experience only to refer to the pieces as "GT3."

I did.. I actually brought the car and the parts to each location so they could give a accurate quote. Many places will not quote aftermarket parts until they see them, there condition, etc.
