Maybe a little of that is for the metallic paint, but not much. That's just how much it costs to have things professionally painted. I paid $150 to have my CME valence painted up. Plus, he had his installed, so I think $200 is a great price for all that.

Yeah, I went to a cheaper place for my bumper and regret it...

It was the right paint but they sprayed it at the worng angle (you have to spray parts the way they will sit on the car for metallics) and it wasn't wetsanded or polised...

I'm very happy paying $200 and not looking at it and getting pissed off everyday...

Granted, I drove around with it on the car in primer for right under a month untill I could afford it, but it was worth it.

I love the way the SS spoilers look with the Z28 Hood...

Also, those are 70's vintage badges correct? If so... mine are on the way, and its nice to see they fit!

Spoiler looks good, when you getting the hood? That will make more of a difference.
