Okay bumper completed and installed. Took me 1 hour and 30mins to install.
I didnt expect such a no hassle fit (i never test fitted it before getting it painted. I took a gamble. And because I paid cash He let me have it for $500.00

Paint shop did a great color match (didnt even need it to be blended) They tried to tell me it would need blending. Anyway Heres some pics

Anyone want to buy an CS oem bumper with license plate holes?

Looks pretty good but the shade is covering majority of the front bumper. maybe its just me, but i think it would be better to pics in direct sunlight

PPG is the best paint out, hands down! Its the closest to OEM as you will ever get! As for a match paint has nothing to do with it. Its very RARE to see paint hit the first shot. You always have to adjust with toners. We bought my wifes bug and it has custom paint on it. I sent a panel to the paint shop for them to put under the eye and get a match. I got it back today and it was still off. I had to add a few toners to it to darken it up. Its still not 100% But it will work for a blend. MOST people wont see thats its off but I will. Most shops will always want to blend. In the end it just depends on what the customer wants to pay.

yup. Even though they might not consider as the BEST paint by some "expert" but it will give you 98% color matching. I know this because i change many different bodykits in the past 2 years.

Just make sure you ask for PPG when you're going to paint your bodykit.
