Sounds like a good price with the complexity and since they did a good job.

They really did do a great job, and they kept me informed almost every step of the way. At the time it seemed like they didn't, but it was mostly my impatience making a mountain out of a molehill, so to speak. The funny thing is, I originally was going to do vinyl. I even have the kit from BSM sitting in my garage at home.

What prompted the paint was when we tried to fix a scratch that would have shown through the vinyl stripes. The buff out didn't go well, and the bumper's paint got messed up a little more than when we started. The rear bumper had to be repainted first, and since that was going to run me $300-400 anyway, I figured I might as well do the entire thing and be done with it. I don't regret it at all.

Now I just have to find somebody that wants to buy the BSM kit, cut for a CDC classic chin spoiler and stock hood scoop. :-)
