I would look for a thread on here of a DIY on that install and then reevaluate whether you trust a shop to do it or not. And If I were going to buy it, I would buy only the front and rear bumper (since the sides look nearly identical to the stock ones) and I would buy it from Lexus (probably lexus-parts.com if they sell it), that way itll be factory painted your cars color. Then I would probably do the front myself and get a quote from Lexus as to what the back would cost because that one looks like more than I want to do!

I also suggest DIY. You don't need special tools to install body kit. Check my signature link and look for the Highlander link, I installed the entire body kit myself (including swapping out the front bumper) while reading the Japanese instruction with my wife's translation...

Got mine from Lextasy for a good price painted. Shipping was quick. My local car shop put it on for $200 with the spoiler install, took about 3 hours. Lexus-Parts.com also sell the same items, use the CL discount to save a few more bucks.
