Default question on the jp lip kit

Hey guys, just picked up my jp lip kit. I wanted to know how much you think it will cost to get it painted and installed?

you can have it painted by someone and install it yourself. I don't think you'll have to worry about fitting issues.

its really depends on which shop u go to. It could run you from $100 to $500. So search around your area for the cheap or good shop.

yes the fitment is quite off. you need a pretty good shop to make it work nicely or a lot of patience.

To be honest, when it comes to pricing of this you gotta make sure you know that you get what you pay for. Make sure to look at a shops work, make sure it looks good and then think about if you can trust them to blend the paint to match your color of if you want the car resprayed. To be honest, you really should focus on quality of the cost, better to save up the money and do it right.
