My G35 Brothers.......How much to install front lip for our sedans??

I finally decided to buy the lip and she is sitting in my garage laughing at me.
I have two questions:
1) how much to install this bad boy
2) can I and another person install this at home with tools?

1) Dealer quoted me $300 for install when I asked how much they sell the lip for.
2) Yes you can, instructions are easy and detailed. Take your time cutting the template, the nicer they are the better they'll work for you. Also remember, flip the templates to do the other side of the car.

It may be easy for some but it was not THAT easy IMO. It did not line up correctly and we followed the templates to a T. We did get it on after 2 hours because we had to Re-Drill the holes so that it lined up right. Now it's on perfect but it wasn't as easy as everybody says, I don't know how some of yall did this in 30 mins and got it to fit right. I find that impossible, were you trying to break the front lip installation record?

its pretty easy, dont be afraid if you dont drill the holes on point. the lip is going to cover it anyways, so it doesnt really matter. Its a tight fit, but thats OEM for you.

Can someone post pictures? I cracked the bottom portion of my bumper (my wife did, actually) when not paying attention to parking curbs. So I was wondering where this thing fits at to see if it might cover since I wanted to get one anyway. (My wife and I are separated now so I don't have to worry about those parking curves anymore.)
