Good luck finding one. Good luck finding one in good condition that doesn't need repaired. Good luck finding one in good shape for a good price. Prepare your anus unless price is no object. The reason why I haven't got one yet is because it's not worth what people ask for them (at least for me) especially if I can't find one to color match my car and have to pay additional money to have it painted. You can get lucky and pay your local junkyards regular visits for one to show up. Or, you can approach the owner of an AE that you see out and about during your normal daily activities and ask if you can buy it. Either he'll think you're crazy or he'll say what the hell i'll sell it to you (if he's broke and needs money).

To wrap it up, there is no "average" price for an AE lip. It could be $200, $300, $400 or more.

How much are you willing to pay for one is the real question you need to ask yourself.

Tbehr mentioned the best thing to do. Junkyards or when you see one driving follow them and try not to act crazy and maybe they will sell it

Are they still available from Nissan new?

$550 is a big chunk of change for an unpainted piece of plastic...

It was last summer when I called my local nissan. Parts guy says its not a "kit" its just body panels and its all sold individually even the mounting hardware. I think once he found everything in the computer it came to $1105 UNPAINTED. I can't see paying that kind of money for plastic either. I was thinking of just getting stillen front lip and sides the get the ionic dynamics AE rear valence replica.
