Default Exterior Questions

I'm starting to price out getting some issues with my exterior fixed. Have some questions:

1.) Who sells cheap front bumpers?

2.) Since I need to paint the new bumper I've thought about getting my roof painted as well(has some chipping). While I'm at it I've thought about getting rid of my two tone paint. My worry is what will the old white paint look like next to the new? Or do I paint the whole damn thing?

3.) Who sells cheap drivers side mirrors?

Thats about it. Any help would be great!

1AAuto has fairly cheap mirrors, I do not know about bumpers. And you can always check Andy's autosport out, but I have no clue of the reliability of the latter

The primed OE style bumpers on eBay are alright. I am running one on my truck as I removed my chrome bumpers. Had it painted by the dealership and it has held up great. The fact that I don't ride people's asses keeps the paint chip factor low also. Definitely worth buying.

I painted cars for 6 years. If you go to a good paint shop they could match the paint perfectly. But if u take it to one of those cheap shops like maaco you will regret it. Id paint the hole thing if it were me.

I had a truck painted by maaco and it looked good for the 2 years I had it after that. I always got compliments on how it looked like new. They charged $500 to paint the whole truck and a camper top. If there is any body work to be done it gets expensive quick. My other truck had some dents. They quoted me $2000 for it and said the panels would probably still look wavy. I also had a car painted by maaco and it looked pretty good too. I wonder what other paint shops charge and what makes them better than maaco
