i think i would like to paint that front bumper if i buy it, and maybe repaint my whole car. i could do all the other stuff (installing, electrical, etc)
Painting the whole car is not cheap. You could just get the front clip painted (thats what i would do). It might not look perfect but its better than the ricer body filler color.

I'm not quite sure what piece you are talking about; the fog light bezel or the entire front. Either way, if your going to just paint the front or anything, just take it to a Maaco. You can get the entire car painted for 700; and its good quality; atleast was for me, just make sur eyour particular one does good work before you take it there.

when you say entire car , do they strip every thing and paint it? or is it just the out side of the car? they put shiny gloss pain or what ever on it too right?

[SquackDiddy]

this 97+ headlights/frontbumper swap works on all 2g dsms right?

If by the you mean clear cote....im sure they do, its pretty standard.

HA Maaco, quality. Thats funny.

You get what you pay for. There is really no prep, for 700 bucks you just get a new color sprayed on your old color.

They used clear coat on mine, they sanded and prepped... I dont know I mean i've heard horror stories about maaco but heres what you have to remember. Every macco is a franchise... so every shop can be different in how they deal with you; go in talk to them, look at examples of what they've done just like any other shop. The only thing most maacos have in common is that htey are uniformially cheap. I dont know, when I took mine, I couldn't justify paying 1500-2500 on a 95 talon... seems dumb to me. Anyway, it turned out great; I know other people have had lots of success with them as well.

If you'd like some photo examples let me know.
