that would be a lot more than a write up man. a full body paint job is not something that just anyone can do. i have a buddy who does body wrk and has his own shop where we did mine. if i didnt have him i would never have thot to even try it. there is alot of work involved. the most wrk is strippin the car down and then fixin any kind of uneven spots or dents. then ya gotta prime it, block it, base it, and clear it. the prime and base arent too bad but the clear really takes an experienced sprayer to look good. if u get a bad clear your car will look like crap.

Hey man I was finaly able to stop and check out the bumper cover I told you about. It's burgandy but the clear coat is peeling off other than that it looks pretty good the place was closed when I went by so I don't know how much they want for it. Sound like something you would be intrested in since it needs paint?

I was wondering this too, my bumper has a wierd dent on the front left side and scratches so I thought maybe I'd replace it. Painting it isn't a problem, but this seems really cheap when oem replacement is like 150 bucks...

ive bought quite a few aftermarket parts from this seller and they have all been great. great prices, fast shipments, and great fit. my buddy who does body work even said the bumper i got from them fits better than the oem one.

Still sounds a little to good to be true but I'm seriously considering it none the less . Do you have a pic of your camaro with the bumper you bought from them?
