unless youre gonna paint it too, i wouldnt reccomend that. cuz chances are this is what the body shop will do:
-make sure the kit fits perfect, and if it doesnt they'll make any necessary adjustments.
-take the kit off of the car
-paint the kit (you should get the whole car repainted so it matches perfect, but thats unnecesary)
-put the kit back on the car

that seems easy and like a short job, but it isnt, especially if the kit doesnt fit perfect. i dunno, just my $.02

$400 to put the kit on and paint it is an alrite price. but $1200 for a lip kit is pretty steep, even if it is urethane. Cuz urethane isnt perfect either. it warps. that'll make the paint crack. it might be less of a problem than fiberglass, but nothins perfect.
