__ i need CL's thoughts on my front bumper and rear bumper....

is it better to just get them painted?
or is it better to just swap out the bumpers with a diffrent look?

and what should be the cost for both?? (WOULD IT BE WORTH JUST BUYING A DIFFERENT bumper)?

AND If any one can refer me to a body shop for the work? im in BROOKLYN NEW YORK

I would say go with a different kit if ur going to get it repainted anyways. Its worth it imo

 

@redline26 .... yeah why not rite?.... im having trouble finding one tho?.... i wouldnt mind a L-tuned or a RMM

 

51st street and 2nd ave at the body shop can do it...not sure of price but they will work with you

 

Looks like you are in park slope...that's where I'm at

 

estimates are free... so pick your shop first and get some quotes.

You definitely can ask is if it is cheaper to just get a new bumper, as compared to the labor to re-prep the used bumper to the same base condition as unfinished new bumper..
Depending on the shop, especially if they charge a lot for labor, it's cheaper to throw away the bumper then try to reuse it.
So have them write up the estimates both ways.

Then yea, if you're getting a new part anyway, up to you to consider if you want stock or something else. The estimate should show the price of the replacement part they will be getting for you.

 

Thats why I hate taking my car to NY there brutal on bumpers out there

 

Do you still park on the street wherever you live in NY? If so, I wouldnt even bother because its going to look like that again in a few months...

 

I put comes in front and behind my car..I was to tired to put them one day and these damn ny drivers had a fIeld day with my ****....SMh..so now it stays the way it is

 

Cones***** dama iPad autocorrect

 

Jesus..damn**

 

L-tunes gonna be tough to find. I know someone in Jersey whose tryin to get rid of his RMM kit though. Just keep a look out on the classifieds if you dont want to buy new.

 

it depends what kit ur going to get..
or just add a lip around and get it painted!
