They did a great job on the lip, service was excellent. Haven't had the time to do the install yet, but will take pictures of it soon next to my car to show the color match! Definitely will come back for future parts to be painted. Ask for "Low-Anh" and tell her "Timmmmmmmay (south park style) sent you. She is definitely cool to talk/deal with,

i know of one in the San Gabriel valley that painted my front lip and rear bumper:

Autowerks
http://elmontebodyshop.com/
11528 E Garvey Avenue
El Monte, CA 91732
626-442-6558
Ask for Peter or Bill, and tell them Daniel w/ the blue IS300 referred you.



I had the lip painted for $100 on top of insurance work done to replace my rear bumper from an accident.

might as well have a meet/install day. im down to set it up if we have a installer who knows what they are doing

my only concern is since i have a PU lip, wont i have to shape and pre-drill holes (if i want to install it myself) before the actual painting?
