Dr. color chip is my friend till i decide to repaint for 300$

murph - is that Baker Nissan North? Does their body shop have a good reputation?

I'm wondering who could quote me on doing a Nismo nose conversion for me. Parts are about $2,500, and I'm curious as to the cost of painting and the labor.

Yes baker North, on their website they have a collision section with prices on different panels to paint. Not sure if that is different then painting a bumper that has no paint of not but i dont see why it wouldnt but i am sure that is a non blending price. As for a rep for body work i dont know, Ron was looking into having his rear nismo bumper repaired but i dont know if he used them or not, shoot him a pm. One of my friends is an insurance adjuster and said they have a guy there that does body work that he says does the best work he has seen so far but he has only been an adjuster for 9 months. hope this helps.
