You gotta take it to a shop to get a quote. Ive been quoted 200 for a front bumper.

Depends on what condition it's in. The one I'm going to use is MINT. As in never installed. Not even a scrape at the bottom. But it's black. If mine was black, I'd just install it it's that good.

But I"m silver also. I think the shop is quoting more like $300 or so

Maaco has a special for painting bumpers for $129. Though I would not let them touch my car.

My paint guy did my Strafe Nismo bumper for $100. Perfect match with the Brilliant Silver.

That looks great, Lexus - looks like the blinkers don't quite fit right, but the color is perfect, and that's a much cleaner front look.

i did buy it from eBay.. but i returned it because it didn't have the black grill inserts.. and i didn't want to go through the trouble... it would have been another $100 for inserts and $100 for front license plate cover and $250 ish to paint.. that's $750.. i didn't want that..

I'm not a stalker I swear lol. I'm just doing a little "detective work" since I just bought one of the aero bumpers that this seller had for sale. I missed the GF one that you bought on the 28th. They relisted it again last night and it sold again. I was wondering if it was the same GF one twice or if they just recycled the pics to use for a 2nd bumper. I noticed the buyer left + feedback already and this got me thinking it was a local buyer and I figured I would look for another thread here about it here on the forum. You don't have your location listed so it was a lucky guess on my part.

So anyway, these are legit aero bumpers it seems. Did you happen to see the other ones while you were there? What did you think about the company? We were speculation on whether they were actually aero bumpers in the other thread above.

i am pretty sure it's legit.. i mean.. they have pictures of the exact bumper.. no restocking fee return anyways...

i would buy it.. but a repaired Nismo bumper is not worth $750 to me and my stock G35.. i am in Madison, AL.. for now...
