Id like to know what place will do it for under $300. Between prep on that bumper, paint and labor, that would be a cheap price... Earl Scheib ??

UNless you have a buddy who works in a body shop, I dont know of any quality place in the area that would paint it for under $300.

If there is no preping involved, just shoot and install? this shop "might" come close to 300, if you are willing to pay cash, tell them you work with Shane and Justin at newspaper plant next door. I have not been to this shop in about 3 years so I dont know if they still there or if its same guy who own it, but give them call or stop by, it "might" worth the shot.

Yeah buddy, kinda of hard to find a shop especially today to paint and install for that kind of cash..my buddy at Bob Motter in Oakland..is the only one that has done anybody work to any of my cars..he told me for what you want..u could be looking at about $575-$650 depending on shop and what you exactly need so that it looks like it was originally done from the manufact.

you must have missed the thread on my 350z that got posted here a couple months back..just make sure everything looks good..get underneath and check for runs in paint..look at every angle for orange peel..I know it can be exciting the day you go pick it up..just be cautious..

You got ripped off if you paid 800 for a karuma z front. Like everyone said, its kind of hard to find a good paint job and install for $300. You're better off saving your money until you can afford it.
