Exclamation HELP ! My aerosync needs a body shop...

So I picked up a new Aerosync front bumper and it had absolutely no pre-drilled holes. I began to test fit but it became much more of a pain then I thought. The bumper will fit perfect you can tell, but Im not gana lie... Im not too handy when it comes to cosmetic DIY's and such. I want it to be perfect so I guess I better just take it to a body shop. I have to get it painted anyways so I should just pay some extra dough to have them out it on for me. What are some good so-cal shops that paint/install kits??? This should be cake for them.

it has to be prepped, painted and fitted. As you begin to drill holes and mount the bumper, you will notice little spots not lining up perfectly. These areas will need minor modification. Just take the car to a shop and pay the $$$. You will be happier in the end. Mine came out great, IMO.

The more and more stuff I get done on Z, the more I realize you get what you pay for. The prices I got invoiced I thought were very fair at DTM.

I post some pics of there work when I pick up my car. There are also alot of other forum members that go there for work.

Bingo...there is a line that has to be drawn when you are sacrificing quality for the price. Do it right the first time and pay a little more and usually you end up with less of a headache down the line. That goes for many modifications/labor if you cannot do it yourself correctly.
