Thanks for the input.

Is that painted while the kit is installed on the car?


Did you guys get your kit painted and then have it installed or vise versa? I've heard it's best to paint the kit once installed on the car to eliminate cracking while installing, but I'm worried about overspray and them screwing the rest of my paint.

The shop should use a flex agent, which prevents cracking if the kit is bent/folded (to a certain degree). Mine was painted, then installed.
