I was quoted about $1500 for a pro to do it, but I preferred learn how to do it myself. Only cost was vinyl, about $500 but could have been even less if I did not waste some. Total time from start to finish was two months, but that was doing it in the evenings. Just laying the vinyl and cutting I estimate about 2h per panel. So 2 fenders, hood, 2 quarter panels, trunk would be about 8h. Add 2h per bumper, that is 12h. I would double that for prep work such as removing bumpers, lights, dismantling rear view mirror, sanding if needed, etc...20h work seems about right. I would do it again, it was fun and rewarding.
