Default Where does every get lip kit install?

Hey guys i'm looking to reinstall my lip kit. I had a DIY on it and it failed horribly... I need a good place to do the install for me and won't do any micky mouse work. Not to mention a great deal!
Located in Socal... Huntington beach / Long Beach

Which lip are you trying to install, they're very easy imo. A shop should charge no more than say $30 to help you do a clean install

I had my body shop install it after they painted it. I saw your JP lip hanging. Take it to a reputable shop. It wont be $30 though!!!

$200-300 is a rip off unless they're repainting it. DIY again use heavy duty double side tape across the front and then self taping screws on the inner fender.

here's my thoughts on double stick tape for the front lip

1. I would never use it!

2. Think about the force that is put on it if you rub going up/down a driveway.
It will yank that sucker right off;

3. I have them glue/epoxy it on so it doesn't fly off anywhere.

Never used double sided tape unless reinforced by some screws on each side of the lip and under the lip.
