what would u pay?

I have an 03 maxima and i just got an AE lip, and i want to put it on. The lip isnt painted nor is the front bumper. plus my back bumper is all scratched up. How much do u think is a good price to pay for installation of the lip, plus painting the front bumper cover, with repainting the back bumper cover.
What is a good price?

The guy that does my paint work would charge me about $250.00-$300.00. But I do alot of business with my paint guy. Where you located?

I asked my body guy what he'd charge me to paint/install a front lip and fix some spots on the bumper (one over buffed spot... oops! and some bad bug chips) He said he'd charge $150...

He's just a mom and pop type spot though...

He does all the work for Enterprise RAC here in town so he does good work.

Paint guys are so shakey, they'll give you tons of different estimates/prices. Unfortunately like other aspects of life you often get what you pay for with them as well.

* $300 tops.

^^Thats a good point, but i heard it will fit if you modify it. Should just get the Maxtunning lip anyway looks better on the 5.5 gen.

* IF you can find one.
