how much does it cost there in US to paint the bumper or fender like a single piece? As here dealership is 30% more then high end shops and 50% then normal paint booths

good luck

Seven apple ftmfw!

OP... the best body shop I have found is called OC Bumper and Body
They do amazing work and are some of the best in the business at color matching. The owner is named Daryl and is a really nice, and more importantly, honest, guy who will take care of you. I had a similar issue and he tried to do everything he could without having to paint it free of charge before ever talking about costs to paint, etc. They are located where the 5 and 405 meet.


Check them out here... OC Bumper & Body - Auto Collision Center

^ uhm, i don't think Rob is there anymore. now, just ask for Kenny, he'll take care of you.

Seibon is no longer next door, they moved.



...also hear good things about DTM Autobody.

ya kenny is there also Raymond the manager. Good prices.

DTM has connections with M1 Autobody.

Raymond? Armando is no longer with K&W? :confused:

I haven't been there in a while, so I dunno.

Oh well, plenty of choices of places in this thread. This should be in the SoCal section now!

aww serious? :(

just hit/dragged a metal pan/plate on the 57S this morning...tore into my fang area and ripped off the undertray thing...

Aww man that sucks.. Dude I drive that freeway everyday :-/. I actually ended up going to Cerritos Nissan. They have an awesome collision center, they repainted my front bumper and machine polished the rest of my car for $300. Ask for Danny, not DJ but Danny. Tell him PJ sent you, he will take care of you. Had my car back in 2 days.

It is amazing how much crap is on the freeways out here...

I was on the 91E a few days ago, had a piece of metal come out of nowhere and smash into my front fascia. Left a big black scuff right on the nose... clear bra saved the paint though. Every day I see something flying around on the roads.

lol i kno man thats so cal....

I forgot how much great info this thread had on it. Thanks for all the responses guys. :tup:

I second that vote.. Speak to Ken or Asura.

If you speak to Asura tell him Eric sent you. If he doesn't give you a good deal Ill go beat him!

Good to know! Thanks E

Where is that photoshoot!
