http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2012/4539.html

i got hit and ran so i was gana change my bumper to the 2011 f sport but i have starfire pearl and was wondering if i order the color to be painted by swell would it match well or should i just let the shop paint it for 500 bucks but swell does it for 200 should i try to save 300 or do you guys think that the color will be off

From what I read from other members, their paint job is great.

I'd get the paint work done at Sewell as well. I'm sure their work would be spot on. Save you a lot of time and hassle

There is an option for front sensors...what are those perchance? Are you getting the one with front sensors? Just curious

In theory, you should go with a local shop (because they would consider the paint fading that comes with time), but in reality just go with Sewell. SFP is notoriously hard to get right.
