I found this on ebay. Has anyone installed this lip in the past. Any comments on quality, fitment, etc. Any additional pictures?

Yeah found that as well. I just want to see more pictures of it installed. Does anyone recommend painting the lip or keeping it unpainted due to rock chips etc. A body shop will use a thin layer of paint which will look horrible with chips

What? If you pay to have it painted they will paint it and clear coat it. They aren't just gonna half *** it and paint it like you would with a rattle can.

Do you know how much this would generally cost?

For a quality job on a lip? $175-$300 if you go to a shop would be my guess. They'd need to prep it, primer it, paint and clear it.

damm at that rate I'd just get a stillen front splitter

Paint isn't cheap.

I may make my own lip as well. I fabricated a lip for a 1993 Infiniti J30 I used to own. Came out well. It's a pretty simple design.

I have it. It was bent when it arrived from China. It straightens out with heat....It's Polyurethane I think. First put on one side at the wheel well.Put a couple of screws in to hold it. Meanwhile, use 3M tape, the good stuff from ONLINE NOT the Auto Store. Put the tape on the lip NOT the car.Leave a tail on each piece to pull the paper off the adhesive and then fasten the lip top the other wheel well . After tacking it on the wheel wells just pull the strips off by the tails you left ...press to the car and then fasten it securely at the wheel wells . The lip will take the shape of the car as it sits in the heat of the sun. Or use a Hair dryer. The most important thing is to buy 3M prep vials of liquid...they are in a breakable capsule with cotton applicator . That will prepare the surface after you have thoroughly cleaned it with cleaner/prep. Don't paint it. It would need Flex Paint and that is very expensive and I guarantee it will still chip. Just use that Rubber / plastic protector stuff and buff it up. It's better than a fiberglas lip because it will bend not crack on impact.

A bit OT but your grille looks great.

did you paint it youself?
Is that Plasti-dip or is it regular paint?
