And the other quotes? More or less than that $150?

I went to the other two shops during my lunch break, which also happened to be the lunch break of the estimators at the two other shops, and they were not available before or after I go into work either, so I didn't get quotes from the other two and I got tired of looking so I went with the third one. The estimator/owner of the third shop was available during my lunch break, he seemed like a decent guy, and I think 1 week turn around is pretty fast with it being holidays and all.

Ok sounds like sound logic, I agree 1 week is fairly quick, hopefully I can find something similar. Also need to get a paint quote on some Bushwhacker extend-a-flares. Damn this Ruby Red is pricey to paint.

Thanks I can't wait to get it installed. I will take more pics of the grille and the installation. If anyone would like any specific pics or info please let me know. The shop I had paint it charged me $150. Which I do not think is bad at all considering it is the "Candy Red Metallic Tricoat". I have been told this color is very hard to paint and even harder to match. I put it up to my truck and think it matches very good. Again I would like to thank Reid he absolutely hit it out of the park with this. These grilles are amazing and the quality can not be matched!

No it looks like I will get the screws on Tuesday. That's gonna put a delay on the install but thanks again for sending them out. Don't worry if the wife throws them out again I'm gonna throw her out lol just kidding.
