How should I approach this issue with my car's front end?

[kingkakyle]

about 320 a piece
so 640 for the front 2 unpainted

thats not bad at all btw
mine are way worse under my fangs =P

^^ oh my gawd, if that is not overpriced I don't know what is.

If I get those two pieces painted, it could cost over $800.

Maybe I should check the junkyard but it is a very slim chance that I will find one there.

there is almost no chance youll find them at a junk, my driver side fang is scratched i scraped a curb pulling out and the bottom is also scratched front backing out over a bump stop, and note i just had the whole front bumper and fangs repainted for 800dollars

[DriDed]

^^To repaint the whole of my car with original paint would probably cost somewhere in the mid $3000 by a reputable shop, judging from the fact that you got JUST your front bumper painted for $800.

Maybe I should just wait until the paint on my car's body starts fading and getting spotty so that I can get the whole car painted at once.

actually dri, take it to a car detailer shop, they usually will know a painter who does touch up painting at there detail shop, the painter could mask it at the line above the scrapes, and match the paint pretty close, and since its at the bottom wont be very noticeable, cost around $ 150- 250, its a thought.................

You cant see that unless you duck under.... dont even worry about it.

My fang (driver side) looks worse than that, need to get mine fixed though cause its visible.

Yeah thats what I am doing now haha. I plan to repaint the whole car once the majority of the paint are faded. The overall condition of the paint on my car is pretty good. The fact that my car is garaged, it will probably be around 20 more years before the car needs a repaint.

^^^ One or two bottles of that... about $5 bucks.

The Sharpie I use for my car is so much better, white out is just low class and trashy...

[DriDed]

^^Dude how fast were you driving back to home? I got off the texting with you just a little over 5 minutes ago.


Mike, I live a quarter mile at a time, nothing else matters, not my homework, not my family and friends and all their bulls****, for those 16 seconds or more, I am free.

Ive been doing 70 on apopka vineland today. (45 speed limit for you non-locals)

Hit a speed trap doing 70, thank god for my radar detector!!!! He hit me directly too, I was the first car in the pack (well after i flew around the truck, which is when i saw the cop shoot me with the radar)

btw, my radar detector + my senses + my brakes are apparently faster than his gun can calculate.

Now going back on topic.... Drided: I found a guy who will fix my fang for 100 bucks, and hes really good (a friend who owns a dent company recommended him) this is what my fangs look like after hitting the exact same thing Drided hit lol

[DriDed]

^^To fix all that for just $100? thats a great price. I think I might let that guy fix mine as well.

Yup, and the scratch from the 2 bolts that dug into my back bumper is only 100 bucks.

Ill get you his number when i can find the card!!

I drove all over town getting estimates, the second cheapest place was the body shop at Orange Buick GMC
