i would have looked into painting prices before buying a kit. now it looks like ebay is your only option unless you've got or can get $700 to paint it. just please don't drive around with an unpainted or primer or other color kit. it hurts my eyes, even from all the way out there.

If you've already bought it I would just either put it on or put it in a garage or store it or something until you've got the money to paint it if you're sure you will get them painted. If you definately don't want to spend money on painting it then I would just get rid of them.

Thats not a bad price. I paid $350 to have my front bumper painted....XENON....And they did a crappy job. You usually pay for what you get....
