TcDavis Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sounds bout right! I got a price for my grill and roof spoiler, 300.00! A buddy of mine knows a guy that does good work, he's only charging 75.00 + paint. But he's had them for 3 months! :screwy: Tc Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaijubei Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Those of you that are having your lip painted, what have your estimates been???? I was quoted 280$ seems a bit steep. I was quoted $250-$300 to paint my jdm spoiler....that's more than the spoiler itself. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DugsSin Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I had the large lip spoiler done for $125.00 but he IS a Subaru guy and we send him everything we need painted. Picked up mounting hardware at Lowes for $11.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Ah yes. That is another reason I got the smaller V-Limited lip. It looks best in black and I don't have to pay for paint. That's 250 bucks toward other upgrades. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TcDavis Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It could possiby oxidize in time. But if you wanted to leave it black. Just paint it black again. Im going to have mine painted to match car eventually. Tc Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've been putting a light wipe of Meguire's tire dressing on mine every other wash. It is nice and black and the finish is consistent.

It is nice and black and the finish is consistent. Shit, my car got washed today and the lip is all white from the salt dripping down it from the excess water. Thats a good idea, but I'll have to try that in a few months once all the salt is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TcDavis Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) It has a paint of some sort on it, i slid into a curb after it snowed and now the paint is peeling off.

michelino1968 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 At first I would have tendend towards the bigger JDM lip, Subaru product code E2410AJ000NN (Euro 341,- unpainted ). In our brochures it's always shown colour-matched to the car, and so far I never saw one, neither physically nor installed. After seeing the fotos of the 2 lip types installed, I definitely like the smaller lip. The bigger one really needs the colour match to be "digestable", black plastic on a lighter-coloured car is a NO-NO IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gborja888 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Had mine properly painted for $275. After hearing all your paint job would cost out there, I'm really glad paint job here is really cheap I had my rear diffuser painted for only $50 including installation. I think the front lip paint job should be even more cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It has a paint od some sort on it, i slid into a curb after it snowed and now the paint is peeling off. Just a warning to you guys:thumbup: Tc Davis I looked at mine real closely and I don't think it's paint. I think its the lay-up layers of polyurethane. The cold you have there might be doing something weird to it causing it to delaminate where the curb rash happened.

s2baru Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Found a guy through our local subie forum who is going to paint it and fix a few minor cosmetic thigns from when i was swippped in a parking garage a month back for 220$. Id rather give him the money rather than some shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Oh, man, that sucks. I almost hit some metal shit bouncing around on the highway last week. Luckily I had just enough time to swerve and miss it. Was very pleased at how confidence inspiring the Subie was to do that and have total control at highway speeds.

GTEASER Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Only 6 of the V-limited lips left. Last I heard from the vendor they would be making another batch, but I don't know when.
