Done...need to clean her up...but as soon as I rolled up and saw it sitting for me I was lilke "DAMN!"
The guys that did the work actually commented on how well the bumper fit ("usually aftermarket crap sucks as far as fitting right...but that bumper...well...damn...went right on"). Seriously... very cool to hear and to be able to pass on as my car was sitting next to a W212 where the bumper had just been done when I picked it up.
By the time I got home it was dark so this is the only pic so far.
I immediately rolled it up on my rhinos and put gary's cf lip on as well.... WHICH was ALSO better than the last 2 211 lips I had!
I'll clean the car tomorrow and take some real pics with the Nikon D.
Once again, VERY happy with this package. VERY. My only complaint is that if you reuse your factory headlight washer flaps...they don't sit perfectly until they get pressure (wind or finger). Use the ones that ship with the bumper.

What I am saying is that in my opinion, it's sort of a hit-and-miss. It would be nice to take what someone else paid for a bumper paint and install, and expect that price anywhere you go, but that's just not the case with body shops. There's too much that can influence the price from one place to another.
I am estimating labor for me was another $200-250. So for mine, $500-ish was what I paid for paint and install. The paintwork was indiscernible from the factory fender, down to the level of orange peel texture. I'm a hobby detailer, so I really pay attention to the paint condition of all my vehicles.
I was quoted over the phone $500 to paint and install my side skirts, which I personally think is a bit on the high side, given that there's no lights or grilles to hook up and install like on the front bumpers, although the surface area of 2 side skirts should be almost equal to one front bumper.
Hope this helps!
