They will need to remove it to paint it if its on the car. So best not to install until you can afford to paint it.

Also expect to pay 500-800 to have it all painted.

Agree with MarkCivicVTI. Paint before installing. Remember to get the painter to do the eye matching technique to mix paint rather than just give them the code. It will not match the colour of your car. By doing the eye matching method, you will get it to 99% accurate. So basically, get them to mix the paint using code, then hold the paint against the car. Add whatever ingredients to match it as close as possible.

I'm pretty happy with my Mugen factory-painted wing. Although a perfectionist might find it to be a little bit off from the original black, I can't see any discernible difference.

As for mods; I'm about to install a new horn, iPod adaptor, and Typhoon intake.
