Default New lip yo!

yea yea yea I know it needs to get painted. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a decent/well priced body shop (that's good of course) that'll paint this bad boy? Maybe even mold it if the price is right?
Also, Master Alvin how are these pics? Some C&C would help from yall. I'm just starting to get into this photography thing. Pics were taken with my point and shoot though (Ricoh GX200), gave my DSLR to my cousin in Korea as a Christmas gift.

Will look good once painted. Are you going to go with just silverstone or do a two tone black/silverstone?

Probably going to paint it Silverstone. I think it'll look wayy cleaner.

Wait are you being sarcastic? haha Actually, surprisingly some people like the blue and think it's sick. Some people complimented the color combo? A friend also said it complemented my HID's well or something.

I guess it's a love and hate thing. Looking to get it painted this coming week or the next.

Line-X the lip. It will get chipped up and damaged with paint and the black Line-X will look fine. Maybe I'm bias because that was my solution for wear/chipping and damage from the careless employees at Karmart/Skagit Nissan.

Spray on urethane bed liner for pickup trucks. Take lip off and take it in to the local line-X franchise. Mine is the non-removable lip one piece fiberglass front end. I removed the whole nose and they taped it off. It cost, the at fault dealer shitty Karmart, $110 to fix the damage and spray. Your removable lip should be cheaper since there is no tape off just spray the whole thing.

The stuff is black and would cover the paint up. I'll post picture if need, but the part would have a textured black finish when complete. If they are spraying truck beds at the time you could have it back in hours, maybe minutes, and install immediately since it is sprayed on hot and cures almost instantly.
