Well if painting quotes stay the same I'm just gonna forget about the front GFX piece. One place in town told me 300 the next told me 400. That's 3-4 times the cost of the actual piece.

It's cheaper live it mate black and change the stripes to mate black...

My stripes are matte but was thinking of doing it gloss because of my street scenes grill and because my rims will be gloss also.

Hmm i wonder how that would look.

But it looks like painting things in Tallahassee is insanely expensive. It's cheaper for me to drive down to Miami in the Cruze have it painted and come back then it is to paint locally

Oh yea I will look at other places and make some calls. Just using that as a comparison. It costs me 80-100 bucks to drive to Miami and I can get it painted for 100 bucks easily. So 180-200 compared to 300-400 in Tallahassee.

That's not bad at all. I will call a few more places and see what I can get. I have to do some research to find some good shops.

You could always paint it yourself. Black is the easiest color to spray paint. And a splitter is a relatively flat piece so it should be a piece of cake

That is what I was thinking about or getting it wrapped in black vinyl. Theoretically all you gotta do is just paint the part that will be visible.

Yea I have thought of it but I just don't want to mess up on a focal piece of the car.

Wrapping the splitter looks like it would be very difficult.
