Default What should I pay to have a GT500 Rear bumper painted?

What should I expect to pay to have a GT500 Rear bumper painted? I will probably be ordering it soon, so an estimate of the cost of having it Prepped/painted/whatever else would be nice. Also, the GT500 rear bumper will fit my car just fine right? There wont be any "fitting" problems will there?

ehh, $250 give or take

My spoiler cost me $350 but thats a little high.... so im not sure but i would say about $250. As for fitment issues, i know plenty of people who have done the conversion so im sure theres no issue and if there is its minimal and easy to fix

$200-$250. Only take the bumper itself to the body shop and take it home to install yourself. Its easy to do and will keep costs down. The absolute most you should pay is $300, anymore than that is too high.

Agreed, do the install yourself. It's a white car which means you're less likely to have to have the bumper blended to the rest of the car. Metallic finishes are the worst for that.

I think the install should be fairly easy. So yep...doing that myself!

Anyone have a parts number on the GT500 rear bumper? Would Kevin Casey be the best deal or do you guys' think the dealer would be the best? (since I only need this part) It has to be the GT500 rear bumper, not GT/CS. I thought those bumpers were the same but they are very different from eachother!! I would go with GT/CS but I have Black Sideskirts
