OEM Aero front bumper

Hi, I'm really thinking about getting just the front bumper aero kit , but after i get it is the question. How do I go about and get it painted to Astro black and how do i go about installation? I'm thinking installation from Dealer would be expensive. is there any alternatives??? the front bumper is about 500 and painting plus installation would all total up to roughly 1000? thanks a lot

Removing and installing your bumpers isnt that hard with a little patience. You are gonna have to get it painted tho. So you may be able to save yourself a little cake on the install but the bottom line is nothing about these cars is cheap. I'm gonna get the front and rear aero bumpers without side skirts but I'm gonna wait till I paint the whole car.

People take on and off their front bumper all the time, don't pay someone else to do it.
