Front bumper looks great. give us some rear shots too.
The Brabus emblem was a nice touch

clear shield would be a good thing to get to protect that beautiful paint job.

You name it i've had it or got it...
do you know how much prep work there was on this bumper? the guys at my bodyshop are saying that it would be like $500 just to prep it for paint...i find that hard to believe...especially because it says that it is made of abs plastic and not fiberglass etc....thoughts?????

Very nice,
Agressive but understated at the same time. Needs the fog lights howerever. I love my cornering fog lights. Don't go crazy on the rims. Something with reserve, clean and not flashy. You have a benz and it doesn't need bling. You are definately on the right track here.

ahhh im not a big fan of the fog lights due to the fact that when you make a turn it looks like one light is out. just me but i cant stand that. with out the fog lights you still get a good cornering light from the head light

Yes its abs Plastic. well first off the prepwork is the most important work if they do a bad job no matter how good the painter is it will still come out like crap. if they are really good i would pay the $$ if not i would look at other places but there is more work on that bumper then just sanding painting and installing you have to pull all the grills in, the backing plates for the front side grill, wire out the fogs, and a few more things there is alot of work to be done on this front bumper but no matter how much you pay you will have the sickest car by u.

at my shop for the front bumper, side skirts, to be painted and installed is about $2,000. thats what we charge to have it done to customers cars

it was at local renntech shop on 110 , in farmingdale, they had about 15 cars there, and a SLR. It was a great day and very nicely modded cars. From what i saw the owner can do it all, ecu/kits , engine, custom work etc... here are some pics i took with my phone. He also has the best car detailing shop i've ever seen. They had a professional photographer there to take pics of all the cars and owners. Do you have the led lights on the side skirts?
