Default Just bought parts for the 2014 fsport front end mod.

So the parts are on their way. Now I'm looking for a body shop in the Atlanta or surrounding area to do the work. Please send any suggestions on a shop, thanks.

Parts you need and the cost to obtain them:

$430.68 -- 52119-5E909 -- F-Sport Bumper Cover
$192.39 -- 52112-53070 -- Extension (Upper Center Grille)
$176.95 -- 53112-53060 -- Grille, R (Lower Center Grille)
$83.13 -- 52711-53060 -- Moulding (Chrome Molding)
$25.48 -- 53112-53270 -- Grille, R (Fog Light Insert)
$25.48 -- 53113-53110 -- Grille, R (Fog Light Insert)
$206.39 -- 90975-02125 -- Emblem
$46.56 -- 53119-53060 -- Rubber Grille Weather Strip
$48.00 -- xxxxx-xxxxx -- Tow Hook Cover (I can't seem to find the part # and exact cost)

+ TAX -- $108.07
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTS TOTAL = $1,343.15
LABOR TOTAL = $1,500.00

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAND TOTAL = $2,843.15

ALL WORK (INCLUDING MY WALD SPOILER) WAS DONE AT 2M AUTOWERKS IN SAN DIEGO. THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT QUALITY SHOP THAT WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYTHING BUT PERFECT TO LEAVE THEIR SHOP. THEY CAN DO ALMOST ANYTHING FROM BASIC MAINTENANCE TO INSTALLS OF PERFORMANCE AND SUSPENSION PARTS TO CUSTOM WORK LIKE THIS. IF YOU EVER HIT THEM UP FOR A QUOTE, ASK FOR KHRIS.

If you have them, it should be black plastic. Here's a picture

Awesome, thanks. I'll order those as well next week.

Too bad you are not in SoCal. I've got a guy who will do the conversion for free.

If anyone is in SoCal / LA area and want the labor done for free. PM me.

He owns a conversion shop and sells custom kits like this. To keep his cost down, periodically he will offers free labor to the first customer who supplies the parts and let him hold on to the car for about 2 weeks or so he can do the conversion and test fit the parts. He then takes the conversion and makes a mold of it and then resells the kit. So it's a win/win for everyone. You get your conversion, he gets another product he can sell.
