Default I need help installing my 6LE CME Valance.

I just got my 6LE CME valance and I want to have it installed on my car and blended to the bumper. My car is currently on stands and won't be back together until this summer. Would I be okay pulling the bumper off and having someone put it together and blend it for me with it off the car and painted. Not really concerned about it being an exact color match as the car will be entirely repainted at a later date. So how much should I pay for something like this to be done? I just don't want a local shop screwing me becuase they have never done one before. Thanks for any help. Also, I'm located in Lacey WA if anyone knows a good shop around here.

what do you mean blended to the bumper? you mean like molded in so it looks like one piece? im not sure about the shops around there but i would guess around 600 or so. if its not done right though any little bump on your bumper and it will crack.

Had a friend who did the blend with the bumper and eventually it cracked at the seams because the bumper is weak and flexes and under high speed.

Yeah, I picked up the kit on a good deal so It was a better idea at the time to get the valance than the blended bumper. I may check into just bying one of those instead.
