I used 3M side molding tape and rivets. I got my front, 2 sides, and rear painted for $150.

$150 for all that is unusually low. It is MUCH higher for most people, especially if you have metallic and/or pearl paint.

my lip was $100 for paint and install.

Very cheap, because my my cousin's friend owns the body shop.

I drilled holes after I got mine painted. I put about 3 rivets on each side of fender.

Know this guy down in Detroit. I got extra discount because I paid him cash.
