lol so are you guys jealous that he's quoted me cheap and you paid more? or that he's going to do a substandard job? He said he's done work like it before and that it wasn't a problem. I'm going to check out more shops today though.
i just thought i remember reading somewhere on CL that quotes range from 350-600 or more

we asked them specifically to do this because of the fact that we didn't want it to look like an add on and we used the bimmers we have at the shop as reference... looks wise that is...

I used this same pic to show my body shop and had this done to mine. He charged me a extra hundred bucks for the extra process but well worth the look . I hate that over hang look that most have. We cut the Wald wing in half and just used the top of the wing. It shaved a ton of shaving and sits better then just molding the wing with thick sides

Here's mine
Done in Australia for $700 AUD ($688 USD)
Tooks 6 days in the shop
One thing that the guy mentioned is when he left it in the sun today,
he said it seemed to warp a bit.
I looked at it closely and could barely tell what he was talking about.
He basically said these chinese made replica spoilers etc don't have UV protection or something.
Eitherway from what I understood worst case scenario is hopefully just the paint might not look as smooth,
but from what i saw today it's really not noticeable unless you're a painter lol.
Time will tell!!
eitherway it was worth it
here are the pics
He did a really amazing job to be honest

just dropped off my is250to get the rep wald molded to the trunk. 450$ total to shave sides and eliminate that gap at the back so the entire thing looks flush. he's using a combination of duraglass and bondo/body filler to do it. i told him to only use duraglass and he said that to only use that would create small holes in the finished product. he also said that sure the bondo/body filler cracks too, but only if he was just using that. anyway he knows what he's doing and he's done it before just not on a lexus so i'm pretty stoked.
should be done friday evening.
