Aero Lip Painting?

tanginaglaz · 11-07-2011, 09:08 AM

So I just ordered my $35 ebay aero lip. I have searched around and it seems like the average price is about $150 to get these babies painted. I looked at the SoCal Auto shop thread and will be calling some of these shops later. Can anyone recommend a body shop in LA? Anyone have reviews on the shops listed in the thread?

good luck with trying to find a paint place

So the aero lip just arrived today. Those waiting for pics, I quickly snapped some pics when I was doing a fitment check. Sorry that the pics are from my phone. I would say that the fitment is a 9.5/10. Almost perfect. Good enough that I'm going to install it myself after it is painted. Speaking of painting, anyone have any suggestions of good shops around the LA/OC area?

As promised, here are the pics:

Again, sorry for the crappy cellphone pics.

So I just got quoted $250 painted and installed and $200 for just painting from DTM Autobody in El Monte. Do you guys think this is a good deal?

Perfect Color in Anaheim. Only place I'll ever go to...matter of fact I have to go back since I messed up my front bumper. Tell Enrique or Jeff, Michael with the sparkling graphite e92 w/Mtech front and rear sent ya.

Thanks for the advice. DTM Autobody has a warranty on chips/cracking.
