So as some of you may know, i just recently got my 06 IS250 DSM color
I am a college student so my budget is quite tight
I have found this cheap all round replica kit for my baby
Its too cheap to be true but this seller on Ebay has some great ratings
So I came to the hometown and asking for advice or inputs on this kit guys!
Do you guys think it'll be okay to purchase it?

Any inputs will help guys!
Also how much do you guys think paint will cost?

It doesn't seem all that expensive to me, but I'm still a newb. I had a guy selling a used lip a lot like that near me not long ago for $100 so idk. As far as paint-so variable. A good paint job is going to cost a bundle though, do you absolutely need one? Or just want to get rid of the rock chips?

Yup, thats about how much they go for on ebay. Keep in mind that that's for a front lip and rear lip, and does not include side skirts. It will prob look a little off without them. I would consider buying a full lip kit. As for fitment, you can only really find out from people who have bought these items from this specific seller. Many people have had good luck with the fitment of the Bayson R kit. I've also heard a good amount of people claim their rep wald front lip fit well too.

As for paint, it varies depending on where you go. I got a quote of $400 to paint the entire kit: front, sides, and rear. I think thats a pretty good price.

I just want the lip kit for the looks!

Its tough buying kits off of ebay because you don't know the fitment, it could be good and no body work is needed and could be bad and need a lot of body work. what you want to do is find out who is the manufacture and you can gauge the reputation on body fitment that way.

Paint will depends on the quality you want.

I was misunderstanding, I thought he meant a paint job for the entire car :P As for looks I would echo sleekbrian in that it's typically better to get the entire body kit (front and rear lip+ side skirts) as they're meant to go together while getting only the front and rear lip might look a little funky. GL with your decision

I'm going to take it to a shop to get it fitted on and painted anyways!
Anyone have any other inputs?
