Yes, he is a hard worker. He is working on your bumper and mine at the same time and he is working on Memorial Day too

Having 3 SCs there is actually a cool sight since the shop is usually filled with rotaries

Nice, still kinda bummed seeing all the knock offs push the originals out. Kinda makes the AC bumper too common place, turning it in to something not so special.

i understand where your coming from with this viewpoint, but I think if the autocouture kit was made as flexible/durable as this lit I probably would have gotten it years ago...I could only consider this shine kit because of what the materials used

Actually, from what I have been told and what I have seen. There are not that many Shine/AC SCs around. And most, if not all, of the ones that I have seen are cleanly executed.

I think Shine is a far better choice for the reasons of price, materials, availability, and customer service.

The bumper is made out a hybrid frp. Most shops find it hard to believe that it is not urethane. It is actually quite strong as well. I scrape the bottom all the time and a neighbor backed into my front bumper not so long ago. I did not even have a foam absorber and the damage was minimal.

I'm guessing you are from the Corona area or close to there. Just go up the 15N and exit 4th St. then make a left onto 4th street and then another left onto Santa Anita. Then just drive all the way to the end and you'll hit 6th st. Then follow google maps or whatever from there. I got confused last time because google map lists left on 4th twice so it confused the hell out of me hahaha.
