hey guys, someone backed into my coupe in a parking lot =(

but i'm having a set of nismo front coming in...i've phoned up woodchester collision and was quoted for about $500 to get it installed and painted

as i'm inexperienced, i'm wondering if the price i was quoted for is fair?
and apparently it takes about 3 days to get the job done
lol...sigh...

any input is greatly appreciated...thnx guys =)

btw...anyone had work done at woodchester collision? how'd it turn out?
thnx again guys!

 

Sounds reasonable to me.

 

Yes that sounds reasonable. Be aware if it is the urethane bumper from Mod City you should expect the shop to have to do some fitment and finish prep work to have a quality job.

 

THNX for the input guys =)

actually, it is the urethane nismo front from Mod City (AutoMotiveMods right?)
i thought they are a reputable group and guarantees perfect fitment?
it's my first time ordering from them actually...
what's ur review on them RBull? was the fitment a big issue for u?
i'm starting to feel uneasy

 

Let me qualify by saying the only personal experience I have with them was by email correspondence. I do not have a bumper from them. I opted for an '06 OE sport bumper which was much less cost and a direct fit. I researched on this site and all the posts I saw claimed there were some fitment and quality issues that all required various amounts of body shop work to rectify with the Nismo. I questioned Mod City and they disputed any dissatisfied customers or fitment issues and restated their policy. Given what I had read and the fact shipping/broker costs etc would be mine I decided not to proceed. Elrooko is a Canuck who had his done and is satisfied with the finished product. You might want to do a search in the Body forum and also make contact with him.

 

Thank you once again for the input RBull. I sincerely appreciate it.

 

You're welcome. I'm actually wrong in saying my only correspondence was by email. I talked with Ken there twice but could not get comfortable with their product and offer.


edit- my (insurance) cost for install and paint of new OE bumper was $370.

 

sounds right, i was told it would be $400 to remove, repaint and reinstall my factory bumper

 

With any replica bumper there will be fitment issues.

 

I paid about 600 all in for the Nismo to be installed
