just to clear some things up so your not discourged........it could cost you guys less. like i said if your not as anal as bdyman and I. Meaning my car is a show car, so we made sure there is no waves in it and the fitment was just like factory. the front bumper could be done with very minimal body work if needed and then scuffed and painted. the rear well the wrapping still would need to be fixed. the exhaust area doesn't really need to be done except maybe for the opening so it is an even curve. What I had bdyman do to the exhaust area was me being very anal about exactness of the OSV. the way yours is it is very close and looks fine.

Also I based the $3120 on 65/hour your guys shop may charge less and they may not put 48 hours in just the bumper. So please understand that the estimate, i gave of $5000, is to have the kit done to a show car level, which is what all I know how to do and same with bdyman.

Now if you guys could do the work yourself with the fitment and then have a shop just paint it then you will have a big savings.
