it's not a rocket science to install gfx lip. i did it by myself with the help of DIY here in CL. pretty sure you can do it. spend your 480 bucks on some other upgrades for your ride man.anyway i got mine in lexus of westminster for 99.00 bucks and with factory paint.

Local shops around here charge about $70 to paint a lip (maybe $100 if its very big).

So consider this:

Paint for $70, get some 3M tape for $15 and buy yourself a 6 pack for $10. And $5 for gas money for the trips needed to get the tape, 6 pack of beer and the lip.

Add in maybe 30 minutes of time with a buddy to stick the tape on and voila! You just saved yourself $380! That could be 5 more repaints should that lip ever fall off! Which if you use 3M outdoor (red stuff) tape and load it up, your lip will never fall off. I have my roof spoiler and trunk lip held on by tape.

i used my $500 gift card and i thought the dealer would do a perfect job, considering the price, but the color seems a little off, a little more bright. I got the lip from swell but they didnt have my color any more (crystal white) so had to get the other white.
