Painting JUST lips..cheaper than body kit?! - Click HERE for Original Thread

LudeDude19
i was considering get an entire body kit...but then i discovered it would cost apx $2000 to have it painted and fitted. SOO that is a bit steep for me right now...

would it be alot cheaper to just get lips all the way around and have them fitted and painted?!


i'm thinking Greddy Front Lip, Mugen Sides and Mugen rear?!

That's the same as getting a complete bodykit and will probably cost you about the same when all is said and done...

Do it right, just once.

You might save some money, but how much really? Will you be happy when the extra bits don't match? How much will it cost to re-do it?

Up to you, but if you can afford the extra bits, might as well save and get it done right.

You just got a Carbon Fibre hood right?
Well with it lowered, I would say you could just get a carbon fibre front lip and it would look great. Then in a while if you wanted to upgrade to a full body kit, you only spent a little on the lip. A carbon lip with your deep red and the carbon hood would look killer!

Lowered Preludes don't need a body kit anyway, they allready have great sweeping, smooth, long lines to the body.

Plus you'll be really sad when you grind a bit off the kit when it bottoms out on a bump.

alright....anyone know where i can get a simple cf lip?
keep in mind i have the BASE model prelude...so the skirts are black and so is the rear lip

if your skirts are black then a CF lip will look even better!!
It won't look out of place at all.

Sorry, I don't know where to look for one.

Try gemini composites in surrey, bc...

That is where I'm getting my cf trunk and spark plug cover. I'll probably eventually get a new cf hood from them in the next couple of years...
