I could be wrong, but I've read somewhere on here it's a DIY. Personally though I haven't done it, but am thinking of getting a front lip as well

I don't think it is hard but you do have to drill holes which makes some people nervous.

I would double check that price. Orlando Infiniti wants $299.00 color match painted from the factory.

$135 to "INSTALL" That does not include the price of the lip spoiler.
Yes, the spoiler itself is about $300

It's very easy to install. I installed mine myself and it came out perfect. Yes, I was nervous at first b/c you have to drill holes into your bumper, but when the lip is on, the lip will cover the holes anyways so it's not a big deal if you mess up

So basically you just drill the holes and then it just pops on with clips or something?

It's not held on by clips, it's held on by screws. On the lip itself, there are 4 screws (I believe) protruding out of it. You then insert those screws into the holes that you drilled in your front bumper and then screw on the nuts that comes with the lip to hold it in place.

Oh ok, yeah that does sound pretty simple..
The dealer told me it takes 1.5 hours to install.. WTF?

It didn't take me that long to install it, an hour max if that. I'm guessing that they told you that to cover their backs just in case they have other cars to service before yours. But the only hard part for me was taking and putting the bumper off and on.

Not sure if you can do that or not but it'd be a lot easier if you took your front bumper off.

i was able to install the oem lip without removing the bumper. only problem was on the passanger side, slightly difficult to tighten the nut, due to things blocking that side.

If it is like the Nismo rear for the 03/04 it's not bad, just take your time and you will be fine!
