All-in cost for Stillen lip install?

Thinking of picking up one of these, but I've never dealt with any body shop on this type of mod. What should I expect in terms of cost to paint the lip + installation? I'm assuming they can install it a lot more quickly then I could.

Also, if you are located in NJ and can recommend a shop, I'm all ears.

I wanna get one of these to go on my car also. We should get a group buy going on possibly if we could get enough interest.

if they paint it separately when its off the body shouldn't be more than $200-$250 to prep it and paint it, if you take them the lip and need them to do everything I would say $300-$400 would be average. i agree with kmoney, its probably one of the easiest body pieces to install. and stillen makes things with quality and typically fit very nicely so you shouldn't have problems with fitments.

it would be harder than other products to get a group deal on a stillen product directly from stillen, unless another online distributor is reselling thier products at a marked up price.

Kmoney will be doing my headlights so the lip is a must. Aldente67 if u get info on this in NJ let me know. the lip is like 250 and if we do a group buy, even better for me. i want a place that can paint my lip for a good price.
