Honestly I have no idea what the front aero bumper is, unless you mean the M-tech bumper, which is a bumper replacement.
M-tech bumper replacement: aero-kit front lip: Parkview, Budds, etc are notorious for overcharging on parts. |

Both quotes suck. The Budds one isn't terrible, but it isn't great. Man dealers wonder why people like us don't get aftermarket work done there? Seriously, I spoke with a bus dev manager at Budd's about this once and this is the perfect example, $1000 total to paint and put on a $500 *lip*, what the hell?
I would buy the lip for $496+tax from whoever will sell it to you at that price (hint: Maranello will sell it to you for $496 primed, and let you take it wherever you want for paint/install), take it to a paint shop of your choice, which will probably be better than the dealer anyway, and cheaper (for example, I got a quote of ~$200 from a local shop, which is way more reasonable for a lip spray), then either install it yourself (which is not hard) or shoot over to RMP Motors and have Rocco install it. I'd bet a tenner he wouldn't charge more than an hour labor. I am going to wait till spring on it, but if I do go with the aero lip I don't expect to pay more than $800 all in with taxes, painted, and installed (and likely less since I'd install myself). For paint you could go pricey + awesome quality and use European, or you could do someone like A One Auto and get a decent job for ~$200 (still prob better than a dealer). |

Ohhh, ok that e-mail did have me a bit confused. She kept talking about 496, 450, 400, adhesive, blah blah blah.
Yes, that is a good deal and the route I would go; should be just over $500 taxes in. Then $200 to paint, ~$100 to install and you're done for $800. Nice work. |

Thanks Picus, My dealer is working on the installation and paint price, there first prices was $600 to install and paint. I told them they were nuts as other US dealers have been doing it for $250US. So they are going to get me another price form the Service Manager.

OK I am not in Canada BUT....
Does anyone know of a way to get in contact (e-mail) with a dealer in California to order just the front lip? I have tried two different dealers in San Diego and I get no reply from them. I can only email and don't have phone access. Thanks!
