7 apples
I bought my V2 lip from Shine auto and they referenced me to 7 apple body works. They quoted me for $450 to install and paint and put on my CF canards. My car is Pikes peak white so they said pearl white is a hard color to match and paint. Is their quality good and is it woarth that price. I was going to also go to M.O.B but my friend recently gave them a bad review and said their paint is cheap so Im lost. I live in So Cal near santa ana.

$450 for a lip!!!!!!! Good lord! You can install it yourself, that type of stuff is easy! Do we all own FERRARI's where we have to pay people to install everything for us so we don't get our hands dirty? Get them to paint it then put it on yourself, a lip should take no time at all.

Are you talking about Shine's NISMO V2? If you are it's a FULL BUMPER, not a lip.
Only other lip that stands for V2 is Veilside, but I know Shine doesn't make that.
You sure you didn't get confused between BUMPER and LIP? I'm just asking you this question one more time and making sure cuz you are a noob.
Makito is the MAN to go to if you own a Z. He has worked on so many Z's so far that he's a Z bodykit master haha.
Also, he probably can do the best PPW match in So.Cal. I know a member here got his PPW painted by him and was very happy with the outcome.
When it comes to paint and tires, don't go cheap! You get what you pay for.

hopefully you'll get to peep out Makito and his work one of these days, really awesome work and great guy, i would hate to see people judge someone regarding their work if they havent met him... all good though, did you go to the Shine Auto meet? Makito painted alot of the cars there including Shine's Amuse Z33, Ken's ferrari gunmetal FD, my Z's front and sides and some of the other Shine Auto cars and Z folks

I actually got the Nismo V2 full bumper with CF canards. Makito is gonna do it for 425 so im very happy for this. I want this bumper to last me along time so 425 is a good price for a great paint job.
