Default Body kit and paint

Since the cosmetic forum is on the blink...

I am looking at getting the apexi side skirts and rear for MY99.
I also want to get my front lip resprayed.

Any advice on what I should expect to pay and best place to
get it done ?

I got the front lip done at the spoilershop before and they
used some crappy paint which is chipping now.... DOH !

Also, if the cosmetic forum comes up then can the admins
please move this. Cheers.

Most aftermarket bits will chip to some degree, but how much depends upon the preparation and base coat used. The other issue is the material the kit is made from...fibreglass ones will chip a lot more than the plastic ones...plastic ones are usually the Jap manufactured ones (C-West etc) and are very good quality but you pay more for them.
The other thing you can do is put an adhesive plastic protection film over (Protec, Osborne Park).

For paint etc try Turcons in Bibra Lake 9434 2727 or J&W Zarb in Osb Park 9444 5870.
