Im referring to this. You can tell the bumper was replaced and painted. It doesn't match the quarter panel at all (color wise).


The shop didn't blend the quarter in with it, just resprayed the bumper. A good shop will blend it so it's not so obvious it's been painted.

My friend owns a body and paint shop, trust me I even showed him the pic.

They didnt blend it. Most shops don't because insurance usually doesn't want to pay them to, my guy fights them and does it.


But meh, as long as your happy with it that's all that matters
