My front bumper is rediclously faded, and my rear is just starting to get bad.

How much would i be looking at for a new front, and/or a new rear?

Paint them.

Posted by: MrWilson

I was told by maaco that i couldnt paint them, because the paint would flake off in a month, and that i should buy new ones.

that is why you dont go to maaco.

It should cost you a few hundred at any REAL body shop to get done. MAKE SURE they remove the bumper cover before painting. (maaco wouldnt do this, which is why the paint would peel off after awhile)

yup....Go to a good REPUTABLE body shop in our area. Hell ask geno what shop did the paint on the terminVIIIor, and if he was happy with them. Thats how this buisness works, (word of mouth)
