Bodyshop Quoted me $1800 for...

I'm in Hawaii.
I went to Tech One Custom body shop today.
I need to repaint my front bumper, and driver side fender, door and lower part of the quarter panel.
He said the regular price will be $2200, but sine i'm the member of G35 Driver.com, he said he would give me a deal.
He offered $1800 for the body work mentioned above.
Is it reasonable price? or Should I look around more.
please let me know. thanks!!

You should just go for an aftermarket bumper instead of paying that price. I recently got hit on my left side bumper, and the other persons insurance is coughing up $2300 for it. With that money, you could get something better looking.

i never really liked fitment of aftermarket bumpers. i'm not sure how it is in the infiniti world, but on my friends cars, ranging from honda/toyota's they never fit properly.

There are two small dents, one on the door and one on the fender. I even have the replacement front bumper.
Anyone in Oahu, HI knows decent auto body shop that doesn't charge that much?

Your problem is that you went to One Touch Custom auto body. You really need to shop around, any time someone has custom in their title they're going to charge outrageous prices....because they do custom work. I paid $500 just to have my bumper repainted but the work was flawless, just not custom. lol Pictures would also help us see what kinda damage you have, and yes get a Nismo bumper you'll be $$ ahead! Good Luck with this....
