Stopped by at the body shop for an estimate where they had the highest reviews in the city. The shop is in partnership w/ Acura & BMW dealers along with numerous testimonials from them and customers. I have a feeling I won't be disappointed by their job.

As for the estimate:

I was guessing it would be around $500, so I should be happy about it. Plus, a little bit of discount out of nowhere.

They even told me the place that does good job on clear bra the bumper. :)

~$400 for the paint job is pretty legit price right?


for just the front bumper, tht's expensive.... i could get my hood, front bumper, rear bumper and sideskirts done for $550.....

When I got rearended way back when to patch my rear bumper cover and paint it to match was 375 and some change.


Finally finished my transition from loud exhaust and flashy black accents to very clean and subtle. Painted my front lip, removed the fart canon and replaced with a flowmaster 40, painted the rims factory silver and added mud flaps. Its lowered on Eibach sportlines and other than that its very clean and i love the outcome.

I would assume that is just for the front bumper and side skirts?
I could see that as a steal in my books.
No no. The PQ is only for the front bumper.

Seriously? There is no way I can find a place that does all of that w/ $550. Unless I choose the cheepest paint plan at Maaco or somewhere.

That sounds about the same as my PQ. I might be able to lower the cost b/c I can waive the labor on the license plate, which I won't be having, and the waste disposal fee.

If it was only $150, I would have my current bumper refinished...

Huh. It has been like this for almost 6 years at here. Yeah WA residents' a$$es are on fire sometimes lol.

Well, I am an extra firm believer of "You get what you pay for." when it comes to a paint job.

Where I am at it's 9.25% but no state income tax. It evens out either way. That's why it's better buying online.

Today was a productive car day. :rock:

1) Added my 07 TL-S rear sway bar with new oem bushings, holders, and moog end link. Noticed a huge difference on the way home. :rock:
2) Added new Kicker DS65 6.75 speakers in the front doors. Trust me it was a ***** to get mounted on the oem cones. Ended up buying 6.5 aftermarket .5 inch adapters from best buy and screwing them into the factory oem cones. Great sound and amazing highs mixed with my Jvc dbl din.
3) Added my m3 spoiler on today. Pictures coming soon. Paint was great from TW.
