Custom modifications are just that; Custom, by definition of the word, there is no standard by which to judge.

The word Estimate means just that; An ESTIMATE (es·ti·mat·ed, es·ti·mat·ing, es·ti·mates, To calculate approximately (the amount, extent, magnitude, position, or value of something). So when you ask for an Estimate for Custom work this is a targeted amount and subject to additional charges should a custom project go way over the estimated amount.

Custom projects can run into unforeseen expenses like: Fabricating new parts, modifying existing parts, hidden procedures which we could not have accounted for. We have had occasions where the actual cost doubled from the estimate.

We reserve the right to charge for these hidden costs should the project go over budget.

Custom work is also subject to a different labor rate (see estimate sheet). Because of the nature of custom work (including fiberglass parts) we cannot and do not offer any warranty other than our workmanship.  We make every effort to see that we perform custom work with highest quality / long term durability standards, but again, there is now way / no standard by which to gauge how long a modification will last or perform to expectations.

Our advice to you is: If your budget is tight and there is no room for error, it would be wise on your behalf to wait until you can accommodate the many variables involved with high quality custom work.

All custom work is subject to time logging and our liability waiver for altered parts or structures.

Collision work is different as does not apply here.  Collision is easier to estimate and therefore more accurate, still not exact, but certainly more accurate then custom.
