  • Repainted Front End Pics inside.

    Had front clip repainted to blend the bumper. What do you guys think?

          The entire front bumper hood and fenders were all blended together.

              I put a new bumper on that came primed for paint. The whole thing was done for around 800 or 900 if my memory serves me. I removed and replaced the old bumper myself saving quite a bit of labor. Its really not that hard only a few bolts. I think that it might be cheaper to just repalce it instead of stripping then repainting. But since you have the bodykit idk.

                  I got mine from rockauto.com they have ones on there taht are certified. But i got the cheaper one. The guy at the body shop said that it the best hes ever seen a non oem bumber fit before. That one is 74.89 plus shipping. The capa certifed bumper, basically oem, is 109.00. plus shipping. I dont know how that compares to ebay but its a helluva lot cheaper than from the dealer.

                        Nope and i didnt even buy the capa certified one and it bolted up great. http://www.capacertified.org/home.asp is the capa website. If you really want the extra piece of mind then you should get that one. Like I said i installed mine myself. Keep all the old hardware and transfer it to the new bumper. You can find a guide with pics on how to remove and replace it here:
