3-4K to install and paint the lips and skirts? The Z owner was not trying to paint the whole car... That seems a bit high in my opinion.

Honestly, Dan that's what it costs through the front door. I sent someone from Nasioc in through the front door a few months back. It cost him $3500 to have a Chargespeed lower lip kit put on his car. The guy so happy with the work becuase it came out looking impeccable.

Painful. My God! It`s like a mental patient was released and somehow inherited a body shop.
