Recommended shops in NNJ that will paint and install front lip? $425???

I'm in Bergen county new jersey and I'm looking for a reputable shop that can paint and install my suvneer FRP Carlsson style front lip. I spoke to my local auto body guy and he is uncomfortable dealing with aftermarket stuff like this. Thanks in advance for any local recommendations.

Try Bergen Imports in Cliffside park. 228 Palisades Ave. 201-943-2915. Ask for Harry. The best thing is to just stop by.

Over the years, I had a lot of things done by Harry to my C32. from the most difficult I can list a Carbon Creations Morello rear bumper with integrated diffuser, Rieger front bumper, Stone Carbon carbon fiber hood. I also have a Suvneer front lip but that was simple.
Don't let the mechanical shop upstairs fool you. There is a huge body shop downstairs.

+1 for Bergen Imports.

Harry painted my calipers for me, installed a carbon fiber trunk and fixed my rear quarter panel that was hit by a runaway shopping cart. They do great work. Tell him Mike with the black C63 recommended him.

C63 Coupe
Another vote for bergen imports and Harry .. I had a bad situation with another shop and harry fixed up all the problems with my car and also installed MBH Headers w/ midpipes, black series oil and trans cooler, SLS spark plugs, Activate radiator fan to turn on earlier, Revozport Rear diffuser with ground effects panels, and Mode Carbon Luftstrom front lip. Awesome quality work fair price and very fast turnaround. Just picked up the car last week. Harry will be away for the next week or 2 on vaca talk to Elias and tell him Erol with the white C63 Coupe sent you in.

Wow. $425 is the quote I got from Bergen Imports. I was expecting about half that.

$400 cash. Is that reasonable? Assumes no cutting or modification of the lip. assumes some light sanding, priming, painting, clearcoating. Also they say urethane coat to secure the lip. If I knew it would cost this much, I would have probably just gone with the Arkym lip. The going rate seems to be more like $250 no?

Go with Eurotech - http://www.eurotechms.com/

They did my wrap, calipers and a bunch of CF part swaps - Danil is great to work with
