Default anyone interested in installing body kit for me?

i want to purchase a full lip body kit! although i am not familiar with installing such items. i will gladly pay someone in chicago to install these for me, as long as you have done them before and know exactly what to do. must be someone in chicago or near by suburbs. i also have a huge garage where you can do the work and i will be willing to assist with tools, help. shoot me a pm if interested in doing this and price for labor. or if you know of a shop that does it. also any ideas of which kit to buy and what will fit best?

I have a black IS350 and I went with the full Wald kit. I just recently put the front lip on and got the spoiler. Just waiting for summer to come around since I'm "molding" it to the trunk to make it permanent. That'll take two or three days of work.

Most body kits are super easy to install. It's just tape and a few screws.

Yeah, even if it's an authentic branded kit, it's fitment could still be the slightest bit off. But yeah, sometimes replicas on eBay and cheap ones have horrible fitment.

It's really more preference and how it will flow with your current mods. Just don't buy a cheap knock off kit and you will be fine. My favorite front spoiler on the is is the fabulous or you can go full bumper replacement. Vertex seems to be the most popular but looks like a snow plow IMO.
