Insurance Claim if you have Zero Comprehensive Deductible :) "I Do" and get the Stillen Bumper or just go OEM with Emblem Delete ;)

What area of Florida are you looking for a shop in? That would help some of us with giving you recommendations. Also you might want to post a thread in the Southeast section.

Where in Florida are you? I can get you one for $600 painted if you can pick it up.

Edit: And yes, it is a brand new one.

He doesn't need a new one. Repairing the old one would cost way less than that.

Just some info for your reference.

The Evo-R lip (3-piece All FRP) cost totalled around $385 including shipping and prep/painting.

Here is an approx. lip coverage shown in blue:

Probably, I need to get the Evo -R lip, sharks and back end between the tips painted. Hopefully it would not be more than $300.

I was actually going to try and paint the 3-piece lip myself, but all the materials (prep materials,sandpaper, primer,paint, clear etc...) would have ended up costing me around $100 with unknown results. I would really like to know how to paint on my own though.

$300 sounds about right for that many pieces if you can find a reasonable shop. Some shops tend to only see $$$, especially if they see a nice looking sports car, so shop around. The shop I had mine done tried to get away with charging me $175 before I told him we had agreed on $125.

I had a similar scrape up on mine, and I just had it repaired. the guy sanded it down and repainted it to match. Can't even tell it was there now. It cost me $300

BOMEX LIP Should cover it :)

BOMEX LIP? Should Cover it?

ddvette9 11-01-2010 07:34 PM

just called the z store, they said it should cover most of the damage. the rest can be touch up paint or later on down the road i can remove the piece, have it painted and then re-apply it.

But i guess i feel confident evo-r stage 1 should do the trick

kenchan 11-01-2010 07:37 PM

Not a fan of that evor lip from side view. It looks out of place but if thats wat you want sounds like a good fix. But those scratches will be quite visible even if touched up.

Here's how the Evo-R lip fits on my bumper shown in red for illustration purposes.
