Wait until a "professional" ****s up something on the car and they bring it to another "profrssional" to fix it. If its something i can do myself, id rather do it myself. So when I **** up ill be to blame for and fix it if I can.

But i guess if someone is willing to pay that much for something, them go ahead. Installing your own bumper/hood/headlight will take no longer than 2 hours, even with someone who is a first timer.

I think I paid like 500-550 for the complete conversion (hood, bumper, retainer, paint/match, labor) which IMO isn't bad at all. IMO your only need to do the swap once, if your going to do it then do it right or don't do it at all. I love a cheap deal and I know what it's like to be on a budget and what not, but if your trying to squeeze every single penny then you shouldn't be playing with cars.

Dude that's cheap! It makes me think my swap was a tad expensive but I can't complain, it came out perfect. Those prices are for New OEM Replacement parts or for used oem parts?
