What's the concensus?

I have heard it's difficult to match the color... I've heard the paint chips off...
I do however like the look and given the fact that my car will be white I think it's a must.

What $ should I expect to pay?

Do you recommend an audi dealership or a custom shop?

Thanks to all... some WW for your time -

you could try using the 3m stoneguard to protect the part you are having painted.....I had an accident a year ago and had my front bumper repainted and...the color matches fine but the OG paint didnt chip but the new paint chips like a Motherfvucker..

brought it to the "audi certified" body shop that my dealership uses for all paint work...

i paid 700 way back in the day...

the paint hasn't chipped off anywhere and i believe unless you're getting a kit the painted lowers are a must

the front bumper got road chips on it... but so did the upper bumper, hood, and fenders... so i took that in stride and i just ended up with a new bumper and new hood... so everything is freshly painted and i think it looks great now !

ps nice carmen picture ha

ive had painted lowers for 3 years and its been nothing short of perfect quality the whole time

The match is perfect and to paint and install the votex and paint lowers cost 770.00 1.5 years ago. However, I made this deal whilst purchasing the car.

The front votex will chip due to the amount of rd grit you have. I live in Colorado where they use sand on the Roads for snow. My front is in about need of a repaint but rest looks great.

Your car looks GOOOD... I just bought an 04 white avant to replace my recently totaled 03 avant.

about $1000 if it does done properly it will not chip.If you pay less..expect less and chips..

I know this because I have a body shop and have done the job to cars..and seen it done for less..and the quality usually sucks

I had a local body shop do the painting and the final product is excellent.

No flaking or chips yet and it's been 1.5 years.
