Spec_Davis was kind enough to hook it up and sell it to me for $250

spec_Davis, I was on the fence about it but I
did it and it did end up looking great. I had a few scratches in the front bumper, and a bunch of clear coat
behind the license plate holder, I took it to the shop to take care of it, and they filled it in.

The shop is amazing, fantastic job.

I've been going to him for awhile now, and he took care of me. He's reasonable, not cheap. He is a perfectionist and use spies/hecker paint only.

Nah, I don't think he'll charge 400, maybe 300-325.

Looking good...I really like the grille. I got my VHT flat black paint yesterday and hope to get the time to paint the grill this weekend.

If you have time i'd like to see a picture of your car's front end. The reason is i have the same color as you and i've been looking into getting a lip!

If you're busy, its no problem. Thanks in advance!
