Default Hmm...how much am I looking at here?

I want to add the finishing touches to my exterior mods before I start working on the inside. These are the things I want to get done:

1). A 2005-2007 Saleen front bumper prepped/painted and installed.
2). The side mirrors I want to get painted to match the rest of the body. Of course they have to sand it down etc etc
3). I want to take the front antenna out and have it grinded/flattened/painted over so that it doesn't stick out anymore. I don't use FM anyways.

How much am I looking at here? I'm going to get estimates however, I thought I should ask you guys first.

I think you may need more than just the bumper. also why not just get the mirror covers, they are painted to match the car. and you should get a shorty antenna, so when you sell the car it has FM radio.

What more do I need? I already have the pony grill so the wire and harness are already there. The painted covers don't take up the whole mirror, there is still a black part on the side near the door and I know I'm not selling the car. I already invested way too much in it to get rid of it anytime soon.

Here's the 'painted mirror' thread.

I also took out the entire antenna assembly, filled, and painted it. Can't speak to what a reasonable cost is as I had it done as part of other work.

Instead of doing without FM, why not mount an antenna along the inside of the A-pillar? I've been thinking about doing this myself. hmm.

Here's an alternative for the antenna:
