$750. Just the bumper was $400 because it was so labor intensive. As you can see I have the Euro/bumperette delete so it was a custom job.

On the fenders and the hood I went back 1/3. Considered doing the whole hood and fenders which would have taken the clearbra job to $1300. I couldn't stomach the money and I wanted a little hood to polish occasionally.

The repainting of the full hood and fenders with headlight washer delete was $1300. They tacked in steel where the holes were so very little bondo.

Nope. Too much $$$.

Cactus-I'm not an expert and someone else might chime in. They stripped both fenders all the way to the doors. Then they repainted two-thirds back from the front---stopped and remixed some paint to match the door exactly and brought that up to where they stopped from the front---blending somewhere in the middle.

I don't really get it, but I looked and looked and looked in the shade, sunlight, etc. and cannot tell the difference from the door to the fender.

The clearbra job took almost 6 hours and he never really took a break.

Are the headlight washers on their own pump? Simple to remove?

Thinking about washer and emblem delete.

Yes, on their own pump, but that pump shares a common tank. If you are doing it for cosmetics, you could electrically disconnect the pump and just pull the hoses/washers. Or go for an RS tank in the trunk:

I did the reservoir delete too and put in the RS tank with the RS tank bracket. I also took the fluid level sensor from the old tank and mounted it into the RS tank. Works great!!!!!

Mark,

Looks great! Did they MIG weld-up the holes, spot weld a plate under the hole and then "bondo" over, or what?

Nice Mark!

I like it... cleans things up. Sometimes it looks sorta... bald, I guess. (I did the same thing to my black tt )
