I got show quality paint work done on my camaro's bumper for $200 and all i had to do was remove it and take it to the guy. it was spider webbed from a direct hit to the rear at about 5mph. the guy even buffed out the car for free because the bumper looked so good against the rest of the car.</blockquote>
