How much I should pay for lip kit ? (installed + painted)

Stew4HD

What did the dealer say about it? I haven't seen the kit for the 4G, the 3G kit was about $800 painted and I installed it.

I plan to get a '12 and have the dealer install it. that way, if there is any problems, they will fix it.

Did you check out RonJon, he has a lip kit that looks pretty sick.

Stew4HD: the dealer will call me monday.

types1fan: thanks for the link but I prefer the original lip kit.

1575$ CND at the dealer. I think is good.
What you think?

I got mine for $1400 when i bought the car new (fall of 09). So sounds about right. I think the kit is $1100 - so figure a bit more for install.

I will get my TL with lip kit Wednesday!!

thats expensive for just the kit..


mines was 830 in cbp.. shipped.. lol

Rick_TL

830$ + 400$ (paint job) + 400$ (installation) = 1630$

1575$ is a good price

i just asked the dealer yesterday.
$1500 for the kit + install+ painted
but im gonna order the kit on internet so it gonna be cheaper.
$850 the kit + 400 install = $1250 for everything

830 shipped and painted...

installed myself.. which was straight forward.. if you cant install a lip kit, you shouldn't be modifying your car at all. there are instructions and you need is a drill, screw driver, and a dremel to do the work.. oh and a helping hand.


saved myself 700 bux and getting the experience by doing it myself. you cant fk up with instructions.

Its snowing in Montreal, I dont have garage...so its pretty hard for me to install that and its only 1,575$ on a car of 38,000$


**sorry for my poor english**

It's your money and your car. Do what you want to do.

Without a garage, it's very hard to do.. you need a floor jack, jack stands... for starters.

I have a garage but wil pay the dealer to install mine this time! I did my own on the 3G.. been there, done that.. not again!

potmilkz

its really that hard? ive done it on a 3g and it was pretty straight forward.. and i dont think you need to put your car on jack stands.. ive done it without even lifting my car.

but yeah, if you have the dough, then pay dealer to do it, but i see my extra 600+ to be invested in somewhere else.

Stew4HD

It's a lot easier if you can lift it up, for sure. Taking the bumber off can be scary for some folks.

potmilkz

oh haha hell yea.. i was soo scared to take off my front bumper when i hit the part under the headlight.. i struggled to pull the tabs off because i was scared to break anything..

Stew4HD

When I did my 3G, it was scary to pull hard on the bumper but I had watche a few DIY videos on here that showed where each bolt was located, that made life much easier.
