Stillen kits look very good on the car. In my opinion.
But once it is on DO NOT BLOW A FOG LIGHT......
Just replaced one of mine that blew & it was such a B**CH!!!
The housing for the fog lamp is a bit larger then the opening
in which you need to remove it to replace the bulb.
So all said and done there really is no way to pull
the whole housing out without really yanking
and forcing it along without scratching the paint of
the kit by the light... SUCKS BIG TIME!

You're better off purchasing it unpainted. Lots of crap can happen during shipping..

It'll cost about $600-800 to paint/install at a shop ($150 for just the front lip), which can better match the vehicles paint.

Dude, you are so buggin, I don't know how much
rice your eating or what's in it, or if you
roll it and smoke it, but you can ask anyone
that's purchased a stillen kit and had it installed
professionally, it costs way more than $150.
I know personally it cost me $600 and that's
because I knew a guy who owns a body shop, but
when I went to other body shops, they gave me
quotes for $800 and up. They all told me it
depends on how it gets installed and all that
other bullsh*t.

OUCH!!!... man, I don't think your buddy's main priority was to save you money, I had a buddy of mine do my kit and in PEARL, so you know that sh*t was hard to match... anyways I only paid 2 Bills, but it does cost between 500-700 to get it installed...

Oh! and the fogs... good thing I got the GXE without the fogs... I got PIAA's that I need to install.
