If u buy from a vendor like subydude they usually have deals with autobody/paint shops to lower the costs if they send a bunch of scoops their way to be painted. STI hood scoops costs around $150 and u could get it painted in your color for a total of $215 if u buy the scoop and get it painted by them.
But like u and me, I got my scoop unpainted from a different vendor and it cost me $150 to get painted. So basically I ended up paying $300
The average price to paint an sti hood scoop is anywhere from $120-200. It really depends on the shop u go to. So if I were u, hit up different body shops and get multiple quotes.
