If you are one of the three that already paid for the lips, there is no extra charge on anything. Shipping comes out of my pocket.

What's a reasonable price to install and paint the bumper? I'm taking mine to a body shop (non rotary) tomorrow for a quote.
$250-$500,depends on the color and if they want to blend into the adjoining panels or not, some shops may not want to even get involved painting a bumper only and bolting it up to a car with older paint, the odds of it matching 100% are slim to none and sometimes more trouble then its worth.
I see your car is black so you do stand a decent chance of it matching "close enough"
I would do it for you if you felt like taking the drive.

I forgot to tell you one thing. On the bumper on the back of the oil cooler duct area, there are 4 tabs on each corner. Those have to be sanded down in order to fit the oil cooler duct.
The oil cooler opening of the bumper goes inside the duct.

Mine's supposed to be here tomorrow. I won't install mine until after I do a track day in March so I won't have rocks flying into it. Do the oil cooler ducts bolt onto the oil cooler? I haven't really looked at the stock one I have now and it's too damn cold to go look.

came in today. Just a small hairline crack in the top near the part that would bolt up to the fender. Nothing my body shop can't fix. Hell I don't know if I can wait until late March to install it. Thanks again Chuck, just get off your *** and tell us more about the throttle body mod
oh yeah, hear anything about the 99 rear rotors? I have a used set of rotors, but just wanted to get some new ones after the track day.

Just received my bumper and assorted accessories today. Everything looks good. Thanx, Chuck!
On a side note, I was a bit surprised to find that the width (side to side) of the radiator intake "mouth" is narrower than the '93-95 bumper. Although in a way it really doesn't matter since there are brackets and other componentry on the outer edges of the radiator intake area, I was always under the impression that the mouth of the '99-spec bumper was larger overall.
