dealerships in canada don't sell A-Spec lips anymore?
Is the only place to get them is from the states? Is it worth it to pay CAD $450 for just the front lip and get it painted for $250? So basically just $700 for the front lip.
what do you guys think? worth it?

250 to paint the tiny front lip? that seems like alot. I paid like 4k to get my whole car painted and on the invoice I believe it was like 350-400 for the whole front bumper including the lip.

Not sure what shops you are frequenting, 4k around here gets you a professional high end same color job that will last.

Canadian dealerships started phasing out leftover accessory stock for 3rd gen TLs a couple years ago.
$250 does seem high. Shop around more

OEM lips from the States come painted OEM colours already, so no need to paint them. I really want the A-Spec kit myself. I also got quoted $250 to paint the front lip. So $140 for a fiberglass lip + $250 to paint. Or $450US for a painted OEM front lip. I think I'm leaning towards the OEM and just driving down and get it installed there. Will see how the exchange rate goes.
Mind you, I have never had an issue with Fiberglass. On my Maxima, I scrapped and banged that thing everywhere and it never cracked.

Wow, that's bad timing for you. I bought the entire A-Spec kit from Bruce (ACKTL05) for $800 CAD shipped to my door. This was 2 years ago when the Canadian dollar was almost at par with the US dollar. Too bad our dollar is in the toilet right now. Personally I would never pay $700 CAD for just the front lip, but if you REALLY want it, OEM is the only way to go.
