Anyone have any idea how much that would cost. Also what about ordering the S front bumber as a replacement to get the nice new look. (I ordered mine before I even knew there was a difference in the S bumper.

Will be on my to do list in 2-3 years when the scratches, dents, and abrasions from (moderate) off road and Winter weather use up here becomes too unsightly. Otherwise, of course, everyone likes/dislikes different aspects of the Q - I actually like that contrast of my quartz gray & bottom trim along with the polar silver Rial 20's and Toyo Proxes.

Count me in - the bottom trim is painted an unfortunate color, as in "what were they thinking?" I'm imagining quartz gray all the way down, and I think it will be a big improvement. I haven't gotten a price yet, but I'm expecting it to be outrageous. => One afterthought - I initially was thinking of painting the trim a dark charcoal, but decided that "same as body color" would look better. Any thoughts? Also, someone has surely photoshopped both these approaches - anyone have links?

got a price of 1000 dollars. Body shop doesnt recommend it because the stock tires will kick up debris and chip the paint over time.
Tires stick out from the side wheel well a tad
