So cal front lip installation
I am looking for a place to install front lip. The lip is not per-drilled. Does anyone know good cheap place to install the lip? It's just lip so doesn't have to be a fancy place. It would be nice if they have things that lift up a car for easier installation. If anyone did this route how much did it cost? I am near Fullerton area

You can try Michael's Auto Body and Paint.
633 West Valencia Drive, Unit C
Fullerton, CA 92832
I took my car there on several occasions. The owner is personable, just make sure his staff takes the time when doing any installs.

I don't understand why you guys would pay someone to do something so EASY as holding up the lip against your bumper and screwing it in.

If you don't understand, the easiest thing I can tell you is to keep an open mind, as everyone's situation is not similar or identical.
As for me, I didn't have the proper tools during the time of my move to another place.

LOADED 08' C350 & 14' GLK-350 Diamond White (P1, MM, AMG Pkg, Ln Trkng, Htd Sts, Keylss Go)
and my situation in particular, the lips are from China and do not fit 100%... they take a ton of bending, clamping, pressures from all angles to get it to sit right....
I ended up doing my second lip myself.... but would have been much cleaner and easier to just throw it on a lift and get it done it 2 mins with a second set of hands

Ok, I have bought the Godhand lips from one of the member of the forum and taking advise from krewcial, I went to
Michael's Auto Body and Paint.
633 West Valencia Drive, Unit C
Fullerton, CA 92832
They were few shops nearby. I went into the store and I saw it was BMW specialty body shop and paint. I talked to front guy who was son of owner (I think it is family business).
He told me the owner will be in 30min, so i got myself a tacos and waited.
They were pretty good with what they do. I have X5 BMW that need body kit so i told them I will like to get things done here and they quote me very fair and competitive price for that project. Since I will be bring in my BMW's they installed W204 godhand lips as complementary.
It was good to see owner who loves to fix cars and has great deal of passion for what he does.
He will have my business anytime.
Anyways, here are some photos I took using my iphone 5
Enjoy.
PS:today it rained in SoCal and my car got little dirty...
