If it's either the ball joint or the upper control arm bushing, then either way they come pre-installed in the complete upper control arm. check out rockauto.com. They have complete new upper control arms for some ridiculously low price like $46 apiece, if I remember right.

Otherwise, you can get a complete Energy Suspension front end bushing kit for around $160, and those bushings are included. You'll need to press out the old bushings but you don't have to press in the new ones. Ball joints are not included in that kit, though. If you want to change the ball joint boot, then it's Energy Suspension part #13007, and they're like $2 apiece. $150 to press out and in the bushings is highway robbery. Maybe if they do the complete job, including removing and reinstalling the arms from the car, but that's still high even at that.

^ It looks like if the lip is a flat surface, you can mount it. So as long as the lip doesn't have seperate high and low points (flat bottom) it should fit.

It also looks like you could probably just get away with just double sided tape if you don't want to drill.

^ thanks for your input. This is what the lip looks like on the sides you think it'll fit?, i think it looks very similar as the lip on the blue 350Z in the picture on the auction. I think the shop would find a way to mount it. I'm sick of scraping and cracking paint off the lip

Double sided tape wouldn't hold up to that.

^There are limits to 3M mounting tape. Yes, it's strong, but even small splitters like those will produce enough down force to pull themselves loose, especially if they're ever subjected to 100mph+ and that's when you REALLY don't want something coming loose in front of your tire

^ I completely forgot this thing would be producing downforce.

Scratch what I said about the 3M tape then. Rivets or screws.
