Front Lip

[SallySpeed3]

Hey guys, I know a number of you on here have this front lip. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDASPEED-3-MAZDASPEED-AXELA-GV-FRONT-LIP-BODY-KIT-JDM_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27acc0557bQQitemZ170402010491QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I realize this is probably a knock-off since it's from ebay, but in any case. It comes unpainted, and I'd like to know, those of you that have this lip how much a body shop charged you to paint/put it on. I'm hoping around the ball-park of 200 bucks cause thats what I can afford. Thanks!

SallySpeed3,

Happy to answer your question. When I ordered my GV style lip from Nextmod, I had it painted True Red by them. This added to the price - I paid a total of $340 for everything - the lip, the paint, and shipping & tax.

Hope this helps you!

Wow that seems too good to be true. They must have changed their prices because with just the lip and shipping I'm already looking at $319 according to their website, and that's without paint. Btw, how did you get it on?

Installed it myself, with the help of my upstairs neighbor (zuku26 on these forums). The fit was nice and snug - a little on the tight side, but that's a GOOD thing...you don't want a loose fit with something like this! Just to be safe, I went to home depot and bought 4 self-driving screws (2 per side) to ensure it won't go anywhere.

How did you get a price for the lip with paint?? I am very interested. I don't see on the site where you did that.

Hmm, good to know, thanks. And I'm with MM Boost, I'd like to know how you ordered it with paint

supershyguy runs Nextmod, so i was able to talk directly with him regarding the lip. The lip was $240 unpainted, $100 extra for paint. I don't know who painted it; it arrived already done. The true red (paint code A4A) was a very good color match, too.
