Stillen Front Fascia Question

[czonin]

How much would should i be looking to spend to paint and install?

[tigersharkdude]

Install free-you can do it
paint-depends on your area. and are you talking about just a lip or the whole bumper

[czonin]

Bumper and grill.

Yah i just visited a few places to get it painted and was told there was no way that i would be able to do it

[tigersharkdude]

I dont see why you couldnt install it. Someone put it on at the plant in tennessee. I worked right being where they did it, didnt look to hard. I see no reason why you couldnt do it

[czonin]

that was my original plan to just get it painted and install it with my friend. the guy at the collision place said it probably wouldnt fit and the paint would most likely crack while i was trying to put it on.

If the paint cracks then THEY DID A TERRIBLE JOB

The point of polyurethane is that it can bend without breaking, and shops add flex additive to the paint to ensure that it doesn't crack when bent.

They are full of sh*t. They want more of your money.

Where are you located?

i agree with alpha, they just want more money, they are trying to scare you into having you take it to them to do it.

im on long island. im new to the whole car modding scene and this will be my first job at doing any work to a car. im pretty handy tho and i looked at the directions that stillen sent me and it didnt look to hard. did it fit well for u when u put it on, and will i have to do any modifications to it other than whats listed in the directions?

Yo its not hard at all to install its about $300-500 to paint it the less you pay the more chips you see from my experience..... I paid less than $300 and have several noticable chips

big rigs trying to call him out on that lol

Stillen front fascia is pretty easy to install, its all just clips except for the screws in the wheel well (one in each side) and then a couple screws at the bottom to connect the splash guard in the wheel well to the bottom of the fascia. everything else is clips. I paid $150 or $160 for mine to get painted WITH custom work done to the grill. only problems I've had are from when I hit someone and on the custom part where the bondo cracked a little cuz I took my fascia off like and like literally 30 times to mess with my lights and wasnt careful with the fasica when it was off the car. polyurethane bends and moves around a lot. bondo doesnt. leaving it thrown in awkward positions caused a tiny bit of cracking.
