Anyone know how much you paid to fill the holes where your "lexus" and "is350" goes? Im snowed in and no body shop will give me a quote without seeing it. Do they repaint the whole rear plactic section?

Im pretty sure they just stick on with 3M type tape. You should be able to take them off yourself and clean the adhesive residue off.

There are holes, at least for the IS250, not 100% sure about the Lexus.

Depending on the color of your car, it may be a nuisance for shop to mix paint for just 4 measly holes.. wait until you have other parts to paint i.e. lip, spoiler etc. you will have a better chance of getting the holes filled and painted for a lot less.

I had the WHOLE rear painted and debadged when I had the wing molded. They have to paint the entire rear panel or they can try to blend the paint. I'd guess about $500.

I painted the kit, front and rear bumpers, grille, roll the rear fenders and modify the front tabs and screws, install and mold the Wald trunk spoiler and custom body work to raise the rear quarter panels flush to the Wald was $3,500
