How much did you guys spend to paint the stillen front fascia? I went from a few shops around here, the 1st shop is asking $350 just to paint it without installation, 2nd shop is $500 +$150 installed.

I paid $200 for mine to be painted and installed. I could paint it for you and all I'd charge is a plate of pork lumpia and pancit!



I'm hungry now

yeah the lip shouldn't cost a lot to paint. It's not like the fascia where there is a lot more area to cover.

No no, I was responding to major27012's post. Unless you have a hook up, it's gonna cost a few hundred to get the fascia painted.

I had mine cooked to get any bubbles out of it. Make sure you read stillen's instructions because if you don't you may end up with a sag in the middle. You NEED to keep the middle top support from the OEM bumper to support the new Stillen so you don't get any sag!

oh geez let me put in my two cents.

its getting warmer finally, so halo-halo anyone? lolflip here as well, but born raised in new york, can't even speak tagalog.

to be on topic: a friend of mine crashed his bmw 335xi but got a new hood, for his install and paint job, cost him like $350, okay not totally related but its the closest i can think of.
