I've nailed the front lip on my SS/SC and I'm going to buy a new one. Does anyone know if they come painted in body color or do they have to be painted by a body shop?

 

My parts guy looked it up for me and he said it came factory painted

 

Mine came black plastic, from GM. If it comes painted, get it.

 

Sweet, thanks! I've looked after my baby for two years without a scratch and caught the front on the rebar 'nail' sticking out of a parking lot concete edger.........BASTARD!!

 

I would have to get the lip painted if I got one. No one ever has my paint color anywhere. -_-

 

english please..??

 

gm sells them started in the color you want but you gotta bake them in the color you have to get it right.. aftermarket is the best

 

Oh oops didn't notice some typos there. I would have to get the lip painted if I got one. No one ever has my paint color anywhere. -_-

 

WTF? Are you suggesting that GM has a 'special paint process' at the supplier for reaplacement parts? The parts that get painted an go on cars get baked and the replacement parts get magically taken off the paint process before baking?

you have no idea what you're talking about! GM just buy parts - some go for cars, others go for replacement parts - they stick to the process - the paint wouldn't make it out of the box if it didn't get baked on, you plonker!

Have you ever been in a parts factory and seen wht they do?

I just checked with my dealer - you can't tell from the parts computer if they come body colored or not - bummer. The whole thing's about $300 and some change.

Anyone ever buy one of these from GM?

 

Yes...that's what I mentioned earlier and the rest of you said I was full of **** Post #3 for reference.

 

Yup, that's what I said..........Thanks! (more official this time)

 

You can not get the part painted.

You will have to order it and have a local body shop paint to match.

 

Any ideas how much it might cost to paint the front lip? This way I have some idea when I get a front lip.

 

About $200

 

$200 for a small piece of plastic? They buggin yo... Better off painting it my self then.

$300? That's not what I get. I get $106.50.

is that one for the 2.0..?? I doubt it.

 

What's a 2.0 have to do with anything? As long as you have a SS/SC front bumper that's all you need.

 

you are either the dumbest member on this site or....no, you are the dumbest....a ss/sc has a 2.0...
please click the X in the upper right corner

although, you could use the ss/na bumper as well, it is the same price.

 

Actually, he's not. Read what he said. As long as you have an SS/SC front bumper, it doesn't matter. That's actually right. In fact, if you have the SS/TC front bumper (facia is the correct term), that works too. The lip extension is identical. We are talking about the lip, right?

 

I'm talking about the lip. Dunno what he's going on about.
