Cost to put on a front lip?

I'm thinking of getting a front lip and I'm wondering how much it would cost for paint and installation?

For those that have had this type of work done, what did you pay?

thanks.

i think a hook up price would be around 150-200 for paint.. install is like DIY with 3M double sided tape and screws so it shouldn't cost anything

Here's how I did it...

Stillen splitter: $250ish
Professional painting: $125
Installation: $12 in extra screws and about 1hr

thanks for the replies.

For those with poly front lips (stillen, JP, TS-P), I think you are supposed to clean and scrub the lip with hot water, Comet and and a scotch pad prior to painting, making sure there are no shiny spots.

Does the body/paint shop do this for you or do you have to prep it yourself?

Sorry for the noob questions.
