It's both.... but very easy if you can take off your front bumper... which is all little bolts and clips... on a scale from 1-10... it's a 3

You will dremel through your bumper.... but there are lines already there to follow on the inside... it's easy.

You have to buy the whole kit to get the painted part.... I think you can only buy them piece by piece primered....

Can you have just the lip kit customly painted? How much would it cost and where would you go?

Any body shop can paint a lip and for a good job... I'd estimate around 150+. Not the cheapest in the world.

I think any body shop can match the paint. Despite the fancy names, each paint has a number associated with it. For instance, I think Flint Mica is 1E0.

Does anyone know how the lip will look without the side skirts? Any pics? Since the kit is more subtle (not like Kaminari), I don't think it'd look that bad.
