shaved license plate holes and tinted bumper lights........(pics)

i just finished washing my car so the spots you see are water beads that I didnt wipe yet. Work was done by a close friend and was free. he used the highest grade dupont paint that his shop uses (upscale body shop). He tinted the bumper lights by taking some of the black paint and tinting the clear, sanding and painting the bumper lights. he does this alot with great results.

I hate that mine had the holes in the bumper when I got it. Not sure who I would want to go to to do something like that.

a good first start is go to local dealerships and look for mobile paint/body guys and check out there work, if it looks good ask them if they want a side job. it should not run more than 200-250. if they ask for more tell them you wont go over 250, afterall its all profit to them since its a side job. be carefull though, some guys are good and some are not so check there work!
