Yep, expect to pay around 300 or so. Remember, they have to use a 'flex' agent for the bumper.

Wow, thats pretty cheap actually!
Guess the savings is in taking the bumper off yourself. Can't be that hard!

Yeah, I paid approximately $300 a year ago. Removed and reinstalled the cover myself.

A "Heads up!" - If you do the R&R yourself, you may want to consider purchasing the new beading that fits between sections of the cover and remainder of the car. The original is stapled to the plastic bumper cover and removal can result in stretching which might cause problems refitting it. Some folks have had this problem (I did) and others didn't.

What should one expect to pay for the beading?
Thanks

Things seem to be a bit more expensive here, but I just paid $800.00 included filling the front plate holes, and you can't even tell, even in a fluorescent lit parking garage. Mark at Eurotech does great work.

I'm considering the same next winter, and would do the installation at home. The underside of mine looks as if I came in too hot and did a landing with the gear up....

True. I'm not sure how others do this, but I would feel better doing the removal/install in my garage. Maybe shops use the existing bumper to get the paint right before stripping and refinishing it?

No sideskirts = better. Girls wear skirts. Oh, and Mark.

Charlie,
It's only a matter of time before Mark shuffles along and unleashes his scorched-earth policy.

Oh well.


Andreas
