not to sound like i raging but first find your kit and then have it installed

you dont want your first install to be on your car try a freinds

removing the bumpers for the first time if youve never done it is a PAIN to say the least! also you will have to be drilling holes in your shogun kit to make it fit flush with the mounting hardware. if you have no experience with cars you can try it yourself, or i recommend taking it to a shop and getting quotes from different places. installation should cost you around 300 and paint will be much more than that... good luck!!!

its a lot less of a pain! you dont even have to remove the bumper. btw your car looks really clean! i just hope you get that dual exhaust taken care of properly

that'll depend....its not the install that'll cost a lot but the mixing of the paint....I'd probably say 200 for install and paint....could be less if coincidentally they have the paint lying around....dunno...my situation was different....

***DAMON*** · 09-16-2003, 08:39 AM

how much does that lip cost? ive seen it on the rodmillen web site and it cost something like 220 dollars if im not mistaken... can the paint shop buy a factory direct color, like my camry's super white? or do they have to mix it? i guess i just need to call the local body shop huh. thanks for the help

ya...i knew paint would be the bastard in all of this. i figured it couldn't cost more than $300-400 to get it installed, and hmm...it wouldn't be the end of the world if i didn't paint immediately, would it? i mean sure it would look funny, but it wouldn't harm anything rite? just need to make sure its clean once its painted, rite?

ugh..i know i should probly do something performance-wise first to my car, but any reccomendations then? thinking within a $1000-1500 budget...
