for just the front bumper hood and fenders?? Or is that for the whole car. If your buddy is shooting entire cars in 2 stage ppg for only $800, sign me up.

800 was my price because I take all my cats to him but i could probably hook you up. And im guessing you didn't see the before pictures because he not only painted the whole car but did body work fiber glass color sanding and extra buffing with special sauce to make it shiny and im taking it back in two weeks for the last buffer and wax

Ahh I can see it in that shot the roof and hood had clear coat oxidization going on pretty badly. How come you waited till after the car was painted to pick up side skirts, now you have to go get those painted also ? or are you gonna paint them yourself.

I didn't get the side skirts till after no worries I'm taking it back because I cracked the front brabus bumper the first day I got it back and when I put both the transmissions in the trunk the guy that was helping me dropped it and chipped off a bit of paint so the paint man is fixing all of it plus the side skirts and smoking the tail lights for 120$

your paint guy . Is he a buddy of yours that you hang out with or something ? that is extremely cheap and it looks like really good quality paint work from the after pics . Usually isnt cheap to get stuff painted unless you know someone. Man sorry to hear about the brabus bumper getting beat up so fast. How come you got universal DRL LED fogs ? Did it not come with the brabus fog lamps ? Hella makes a set of square fog lamps that fit this bumper perfectly. These ones the hella 450's
