About two-thirds from the front. I was concerned about this and ask them about it a least 200 times. While this picture of my car in the body shop is not indicative of the blending, I just like posting pictures of my car.
Wow that is interesting. Never knew they could do that....they must be good!
If you do not mind me asking, how much did the crearbra run?
$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?
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!!!!!
