[R_Ethug]

Damn man.. I got a quote from concours for painting my pzwo front, grill, eyelids and rear stock valence.. 530!!! holy crap man.. i phoned C1 and they hooked me up with Courtesy Collision by them and concept said they will hook me up good so I gotta go there tommorow on my lunch break

[Smartiepants]

Damn, thats alot, I painted my valences and eyelids for around 70 bucks. DIY lol

Hey when did I get a new user title~~?!

[R_Ethug]

nah nick I want it to look super clean but the dude at concours was like if you get it down leave the car so we can get a perfect match.. whoever i go with if they want my car then I have to get a loaner for sure


ps.. no idea.. i think we should scrap the user title and let us make our own

whenever i get stuff painted, i give them my stock grille to paint-match.

you can just take off your stock grill and put cardboard there for a few days if you want to.

and $500 seems about right for that stuff.

$250 for bumper
$100 for grill
$50 for eyelids
$100 for valence
-------------------
$500 + tax

that's reasonable.

well I'll find out today from courtesy.. if they can beat that price and plus I hear tons off good stuff on them from C1 and kris got his stuff done by them.

btw that 530 was with no install on any parts

Courtesy gave me a good price but the paint wasn't perfect- I am sure they would fix it but I figure its going on the front of my car with about 10,000 rock chips anyhow... I would still go back there, in fact I will once I buy some sideskirts.

[R_Ethug]

well today courtesy gave me a quote for 413 for all the peices so I'm dropping them off tommorow

ps.. i need help taking off my rear valence.. peter or kris call me please 862-8774

[Fluidic Digital]

It's pretty easy... all you need is some gloves, some KY-Jelly and some Clorets!

You call ME -- you have my number. hahaha

Ryan, removing the rear is EASY. You just remove the screws underneath and in the wheel wells - for me this was about 2 on each wheel and 3 underneath. Then start on one side, and PULL LIKE A MOFO. You can wiggle as you pull if it turns you on. Eventually it will pop off one clip at a time... it took me about 45 mins to get mine off doing it this way.... but really its a one-man job. Honestly I wouldn't feel comfortable being the one to pull this hard if it was someone else's car...

[Smartiepants]

Yeah I had trouble getting mine off, so I just masked off the bumper and painted it while still attached. I did take off the bumper.
