lip..isn't that just the front end? If so...then no, thats not a good price, maybe for the entire kit it would be. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

unless youre gonna paint it too, i wouldnt reccomend that. cuz chances are this is what the body shop will do:
-make sure the kit fits perfect, and if it doesnt they'll make any necessary adjustments.
-take the kit off of the car
-paint the kit (you should get the whole car repainted so it matches perfect, but thats unnecesary)
-put the kit back on the car
that seems easy and like a short job, but it isnt, especially if the kit doesnt fit perfect. i dunno, just my $.02
$400 to put the kit on and paint it is an alrite price. but $1200 for a lip kit is pretty steep, even if it is urethane. Cuz urethane isnt perfect either. it warps. that'll make the paint crack. it might be less of a problem than fiberglass, but nothins perfect.

Its not a helluva bad price, but its not a helluva good price. Its pretty standard price, and I dont think you'd be getting ripped off.

Is that just for matching and painting the pieces to match the current car color or to repaint the _whole_ thing? From what I've heard, paint jobs themselves are that much, so I take it that is just for those parts. I don't really know much about this, just curious as well.
