What do you think?
Payed $600 for the whole job (new smooth bumper+ paint and installation)

Came out great and looks even better than i thought it would!

New grille should be on soon.

looks really nice. are the regular unpainted bumpers hard to paint or something? is that why you had to buy a smooth one.

Yeah, the body shop dude said the paint just doesn't stick and would most likely chip away easily.
