I'm new to the car mod world and never did this kind of stuff before. Is there anything special I should know or tell the shop regarding paint? Also, do you guys recommend just having the shop install it or doing it myself?

I hear the spoiler can be a bit of a hassle if the trunk is not cleaned properly. Lip does not look to difficult though.

just make sure to provide them with the nissan paint code.. They will have a tough time matching the paint.

I just had my rear bumper replaced and as hard as they tried it is slightly darker than the body.

I made my paint shop do mine three times until they got it right!!!! Also, they usually blend your corner panels in order to make the diff bumper color appear less visible

Has anyone gotten their front bumper painted? I'm wondering if while I'm at it just have them repaint it because theres tons of small road debris nicks that kills me... If I do, then I'll for sure be getting 3M film over it. You guys think its worth it?
