Ah! so they are discontinued! That answers one of my questions.

They are too cheap to pass up...

Buy whatever, then just have it color matched by a reputable paint shop.

These are discontinued..

Try pricing the parts from the collision catalog..
They come unpainted and cost up to 4 times more.

Thats a good price for a complete brand new GFX kit..

SGM is gone from left over inventory..

Its rare to find a complete color matched Full Set right now.

Wow! Good find!

Looks like the only item they have in Blue Onyx is the rear lip.

How hard is this to install or is it something I need a pro to do for me?

Thanks!

JoeZ posted the installation diagram on a different thread. You'll have to cut the holes out near the mufflers. So if your not a DIYer i suggest you take it to a shop

I saw these prices about 2 weeks ago. I have black obsidian. How much would it cost to get it painted obsidian?

I think they will charge you roughly $150 for each piece. But maybe try sewell, westminister, carson. See how much they will charge you. See if they can give you a package deal.

Also check on classified section. I believe someone is selling TP GFX kit, maybe you can buy the kit and bring to reputable auto body shop and ask them to paint it for you. Most shop I think should be around 400 to 800? depend on the quality of the work.

I see what you are saying. It's better to buy the GFX kit for $799 at Sewell. Much better and cheaper. I will then have the body shop install the kit. That price sounds about right.
