Stillen Lip Kit. Used, maybe you can get them for around $450 - $500. What is new... like $750? Then paint for a few more hundred and install for about a hundred. Can it be done for under $1000?? Others will know better. I personally have no experience with painting or installing a kit.

Usually for paint jobs you get exactly what you pay for. If anything, make sure you use Sikkens clear coat. It's the best, you can put **** quality cheap paint under Sikkens clear and it will look sexy.

I think you can do it for under 1k. scavage the classifieds and get a used kit together, perhaps, for around $500. Then paint ~$250, install ~$150? =$900

If you want just the lip (Stillen), you can get it new for $200+shipping, less if you get it from the classifieds, you may luck out and it may already be painted your color , paint should be around $150 if you still need paint. If you are talking about the whole bodykit, its around $700+ brand new. Paint for just a lip should be around $150. For the whole kit I don't know. I had a guy paint my whole kit on the side for $200. I would go with Stillen or ionicdynamics carbon fiber full body kit( no paint!!) if you you are going to be running 18z. If you are planning on running 19z then Sarona or the Skyline kit would be alright.

I would install it myself or get the help of a friend if you want, it's cheaper that way and it's not really hard. just read up on it first. Get a drill from a pawn shop, get new bits, and you are set!

are you talking about the whole kit or just the front lip? front lip isn't 1000 bucks or 100000 pennies

you can probably look at the classified section for some already painted front lip for cheap. otherwise you can take it to a body shop and have it done for about 150 for paint and labor. so your looking at about 350ish for lip.

or you can get a carbon fiber lip like me and don't worry about painting. or wait.. don't do that.. there's too many people starting to like the carbon fiber kit and i wanna be the only the few with it.

if you sand it down yourself, itll probably cost about a 100 to paint. make sure u tell whoever that paints your car to use flex in the paint

oo the whole kit!! my bad

yea about 750 unless you buy it used. to paint would probably be about.. 400 to 600 depending on the shop and quality for them to install and paint.

most likely it shouldnt be more than 500
