Sixteen Customs QUESTIONS?

Hey everybody i just wanted to get a little more info about this body shop in gardena....i am going there tommorrow to have my veilside d1gt and mazdaspeed spoiler painted+installed...

1.Do they do quality work such as paint matching?
2.Is $1700 too much money to have all this done?
3.How long do you think it will take?
4.Why is my ***** so big?

2)As a comparison - i got some real quality work done (installation of 5 piece body kit/color matching/custom paint job on rear flairs) at a local body shop for $1200. so a little high but worth it to get quality work you will enjoy. Especially if you are trying to match a pearl.
3)mine took about a week
4)everything looks big when you are two feet tall
