** Agnes is in for a face lift **
as many of you may know, my rep aero lip began warping out of control, thereby throwing the fitment off, nothing close to flush.
decided to pick up a OEM BMW Aero lip, repaint the entire front bumper since its been dinged up from being a daily driver, and shaving off the bumper plate holes. i'll also be picking up a usmillworks tow hook plate holder from seattle bmw this week. reserving for pictures. car should be complete by this friday BEFORE (warp-age and bad fitment) AFTER

my buddies shop here a block from my work does all my body work. we were initially just going to paint the lip. then i told him i wanted to clean up the front end and move the plate over. so we decided, since its an 07', that i'm sure theres small rock chips everywhere, so he lumped it all up for the uninstall, install of the new lip, bondo and shave the front plates area, and repaint the whole bumper for $300.
if you ever need work done, i can refer you to him, hes really good to work with, always on time or earlier than quoted for finish time. and i always pay with cash, so he's able to do it all for a steal. let me know

I'm interested! I need to repaint my rear and front, do you know how much that would run me? The front just needs a touch up, but I'm planning to get a different rear bumper.

text me. i couldn't say how much. i mean to repaint my full front bumper, he's asking 300 for parts and labor, in cash. but to do them both, he'd probably shoot for even cheaper.

they do awesome work. usually a 2-3 day turn around has been the longest i've gotten from them. he's now doing my front end, lip, he did my m3 sides, painted my interior trim, lowered my car, etc.
paint has always been SPOT on, and that red is really hard to match already. i've never ever had an issue with his shop

Hi jm3as,
Would you mind sending me his contact info also. I've been wanting to repaint my front bumper and aero lip to make the front end look cleaner. Other shops are charging way too much in my opinion. Last edited by gsmurf; 02-02-2012 at 04:03 PM.. |

got my car back, unfortunately they guy threw on the paint before notifying him to shave the bumper holes down. other than that, i'm so happy with the results. basically a brand new front, everything fits like a glove this time.
i'll post pictures after work also will be doing the "remove bumper plate holes" DIY tomorrow and will post my results on that as well
