SoooOO I bought a polyurethane front lip from ebay and wanted to get it painted to match my DG coupe. I went to a local paint shop chain and they said it would be 250 to paint and install. I didn't really want to go to them because of the semi crappy job they did on my first car. So I went to another guy that has a small shop and said he would paint it and install for 100. So I jumped on it.


Question is, did I get a good deal? He had it painted in about a day and the color is a exact match to my DG. He used the hardware that I got when I bought it and it was pretty much a exact fit. I'm thinking about going back to him to put on future exterior mods but only if I didn't get jacked. The guy actually sold me my first car (98 altima) and I think I can sort of trust him.

If I got jacked, how much should I have paid?

 

a decent paint job on a bumper would have run you anywhere from $300-$350....post some picture of your bumper ....i am curious to see how it turns out...where are you located?

 

^^^ he was talking about the lip only not the whole bumper so I think a 100 bucks is a pretty good deal.

 

$250 would have been a good deal for the install. $100 is a steal...paint and materials alone should have been $100.

 

I'm in Dallas. I just got my G 2 weeks ago and was going to take pics tomarrow so Ill post them by then.

 

my bad...i was about to say....

 

These are pics of the lip.

 

good deal, bro... now use the money that you saved and start saving for a nice set of shoes... it'll look great...

 

awesome deal! It usually cost me 150 bucks to have a lip painted.

 

good deal

 

it's probably just the light in the pics, but the color seems to be a lot lighter than the bumper, looks great tho.

 

looks like it was a good deal. paint and installation on exterior mods can get pricey sometimes
