Default Auto Shops on the Eastside?
Hey all,

My dealer is quoting me $225 to install the front lip for my IS350 - this seems high. So, are there any suggestions on where I could get the fron lip installed for a better price? Preferably on the Eastside or Bothell/Mill Creek area.

Thanks for any suggestions,
naga11

Isn't it just a few screws and clips?

do it yourself, its not hard. I've installed all my lips and OEM lips and such are usually easiest since they fit the best and are made of flexible material as well such as abs plastic or polyurethane.

The last lip I installed on my GS was my carbon fiber lip, that was probably one of the most annoying ones ever, mostly cause it doesn't flex, so it takes a while to get it on, but still not worth paying $225 to install.

Yeah, I would like to put it on myself, but I don't have the tools.

Don't you need a lift kit or something to get properly underneath the car?

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions thus far!
