Finally got a couple things painted

Had the rear lip siting around for awhile and finally got it painted and install. Also, had the engine cover done in Glacier Pearl as well. You can see the flake better in the sun and in the pics with flash.










Everyone has seen the Stillen rear lip before so I will forgo the repetitive.
More pics on the homepage as always.

It's a VERY common issue...yours probably looks the same, just as mine does. There is a TSB for the issue as well.

Eric, the paint work looks great. What sort of price were you charged?

Awesome! Where did you get the paint for it? Its obviously OEM, but does it come in a spray can or did you use an air gun? How much did it take?

Nice covers guys. I plan to paint mine either silver or red in the summer when new england weather is a solid warm. Quick question, that TSB for the hamburger on the cover, will they cover that at any time? Even if the 3/36 is over?

Paint it the same color as the car. You'll thank me later.

Thanks. I was getting the lip done and added the cover. He only charged me $50 to do the cover. Very worth it. Total price for both was only $275.
