Thanks everyone!

It cost 700 bucks to get the bumper, both headlight covers, and hood repainted. It was 320 dollars in labor just to take the front bumper off though.

I am really scared to drive it now, it looks so good.

Whhaaat. It's seriously a handfull worth of hardware. 3 or so push pins at the top, a few 8mms down the bottom. And a couple 10mms (maybe 8s) on the sides. Disconnect the sidemarkers and that bitch slides right off.

Shoulda asked me dawg! I would have run you through the disassembly over the phone.

Oh well. Looks like a job well done! Black is a hard color to get right.

Their estimating software said that. I feel exactly as you feel man. I wasn't too worried about it because I didn't have to pay for it.

Yeah it really doesn't matter. Though you could have used the $$$ to recoup the costs of that xbox STEERING WHEEL

Seriously though, I'm glad you got the job done by a good body shop. It looks like it came out looking factory.

I know! I'm good friends with the guys' son who owns the shop. He's also the painter, he did a really good job.
