Is $100 worth it for 2 pc kit installation

Okay guys I'll make this short. I'm asking which of the following shops would be better to go to? I'm getting my Stillen front and rear lips painted.

FIRST SHOP - $335 The shop is really nice and will paint and install the kit. They said that if they installed it that it wouldn't come off and that they don't half *** anything. They will not warranty anything and I'm not even sure if it includes a clear coat.

SECOND SHOP - $225 Okay this shop is much smaller and the paint pit is open to the outside. They will not install it and the paint comes with a 4 yr warranty. This shop mentioned that it will also be clear coated.

Is $100 worth it for the first shop to install it? From what I've heard the install of these lips is just some red backed 3M tape and some rivets in the wheel well. I don't have either of these so I would have to buy them myself. Any input appreciated.

Thanks,
WildmanAL

You get what you pay for. Ask if they blend the paint. That way the new paint will match better.
