I want to get my front bumper repainted and got quoted prices from a couple different places...and I my cheapest was $479.00 but if I remove the bumper and bring it down to him for him to paint...it will reduce the labor charge by 100$...Is this worth it...and how hard is it to remove my bumper(front)...Also if someone can give me instructions on how to do this it would be great...Thanks let me know!

 

Its def. worth it, and its not very hard at all to remove your bumper. SLPonline has instructions on how to remove your bumper, the instructions are part of the grille replacement section.

 

Just tell him you will tape it off haha

 

ok im gunna look for those on slponline...thanks jason

 

i can only find instructions for ls1 front bumper is it going to be the same..?

 

I think so, shouldn't be any more dificult. Same turn signals, and if i am not mistaken i think our front ends are interchangeable anyway.

 

They're not going to be able to blend it without the rest of the car

 

i left mine on while i painted it. i just made sure i taped up everything and i didnt have 1 bit of over spray. i was going to take it off but i sed f-it and just taped everything up and did it that way. saved me a helluva lot of time.

 

Plastic or urethane bumpers will never match a metal panel (i.e. hoods/fenders/quarter panels). Most shops never blend from bumpers to other panels for that reason.

 

there's a thread about the SLP gril install here in the appearance setcion - that member documented the install with photos that show how to remove the front bumper.

edit:

here it is:
