I'm having body work done now. Is it still cheaper to buy it pre-painted or have the body shop do it? I have not gone over pricing with them yet, but according to insurance, the bumper and fender needs to be replaced anyways. This is my opportunity to jump in and get what I want!

BTW, the more I look at the 427R, the more I get used to it. I may eventually change the rear to match.

i would let the shop do all painting instead of mixin n matchin

buy from Roush or stage 3 motorsports prepainted. (more like factory paint this way).

So I should buy it from Roush pre painted? The unpainted parts at Stage 3 are much cheaper w/free shipping yet their painted parts are jacked up from Roush. Anyone know how much Roush charges for their shipping?

The body shop is replacing the 1/4 pane (OEM), front and rear bumpers, fender and then other parts such as headlight, tail light and repairing the door. Do they get those parts pre painted from their distributors?

im not sure about the body shop questions, but there's a 427r down the street from my house that i see everyday and the rear valence lines up good with the roush fascia.

i wouldnt get it prepainted if the body shop is going to do work, its best to have the body shop spray everything at once. just my opinion, specially since its fairly easy to mess up a perfect match with silver.

Thanks. The body shop also said they preferred to do their own paint job. I hope this shop is up to par. My parents recommended this shop to me after my mom wrecked a few different cars. I read someone's nightmare story about their experience with a body shop and I'm getting a little nervous. Otherwise, I ordered my parts and they are on their way

Nice. I can't wait to see mine back from the shop.
