Buy it from Sewell. If not your looking at about $100 to paint, and then you have to worry about craftsmanship, quality of prep, and finish durability as well as color match.

Kerry @ Lexus of Westminster parts might be able to offer a good local painter for the lip...

Did you post in the classifieds? I just bought a brand new TP front lip off another member for $160 shipped. Try there if you haven't and good luck!

I would get it from Sewell already painted & shipped to your door instead of having to bother trying to find a place to paint, etc. But thats just me, I'm kind of lazy at times. Check the classifieds, from time to time a few pop up for sale. Good luck.

$80 from Lexus of Westminister but only one color available. Not bad for the price, buy it and paint it.
