I freaking curbed the right side of my front lip. It is pretty bad. There are a couple of little gashes and the worst part is that the paint looks like it cracked a bit. How much should it cost me to re-paint just the front lip on average?

 

Unless you know someone, I'd expect to pay around $150

 

$150, that sux. That's $150 less dollars that I could be putting towards my Mugen grill. Grrr!

 

how about some touch-up paint.....or those paint that sell at discount autopart
BTW u saw my post yet????

 

dude, i bought a new lower front lip for the bumper and it only cost my around 150 bucks and it came painted, so i would just replace it rather than fix it, and at least you would have a spare

 

Fred3113,

Are you referring to the OEM lip piece or the underbody front lip piece? Your sig doesn't say that you have the underbody kit, so I'm assuming you meant the small factory lip that comes on the OEM bumper.

 

I have the underbody kit

 

First of all you mentioned that the paint was busted and cracked inside. This means they will have to sand the lip down to its bear black plastic look. Then do the two stage painting process. Don't forget labor charges for taking off and intstalling it back. i estimate around 250-300 dollars. Thats getting it done by someone that knows what they are doing. Also ask your ins company about your comprehensive warranty. My uncle did his comprehensive down to 0 deductible, and did a claim similar to yours. Ins charged him $20 more for that month for doing his comprehrnsive to 0 deductible, and then he cancelled the 0 deductible after 1 month .v

 

I think it's little too much....remember, it's only the lip spoiler, not the whole bumper....

I don't think the insurance company will consider as comp..because the damage is underneath the bumper...
They will only consider something is under comp only if some object fell off or fell down and made a damage on the upper portion of the vehicle...
If you ran into a object on the freeway, such as tire, and made a damage underneath the car, the insurance company will consider as collosion because the driver ran over and made a damage.. Of course, it's all depends on how it happen but just wanted to give you guys an idea....
