Why should I have gone to D&V? Because you did?
The answer to the question, Jason, is that Johnson's Auto Body down by me, painted my front bumper, sides, and door handles, AND he did all the sanding, filling, and primer for the front bumper (which needed A LOT) for about $700. This is a really good deal considering my paint is a 3 stage paint (base, pearl, clear) rather than 2 stage. And he did an awesome job with the pearl too. So it probably got painted for about $350 or so.

On the subject of Megan Racing products, while I wouldn't trust their coilovers to really last, I don't see the problem with using the other parts, ie: camber arms, radius arms, resonated test pipes, CV boots, etc etc. They actually make pretty high quality parts for the price they're sold for. I'm thinking about picking up a set of their resonated test pipes with the flex joints in them. And when I get the money, I'm probably going to go with their camber arms and toe arms, just because they're roughly about the same price as all the others (a little cheaper) but those all do the same thing and are about the same quality. If I had the money, and the time to wait for them, yes I would definitely get everything Cusco. But right now with the economy being $hit, Cusco jacked their prices up and its even harder to get their products now.
So for camber and toe arms through Megan: ~$320.00
For camber and toe arms through Cusco: ~$800+
Honestly, if you pay over 800 dollars for four adjustable pieces of metal, you're insane hahaha Just my thoughts about this topic.

megan test pipes crack... you may want to read up on it...
And thats the same reason I didnt get cusco rear arms because there prices for the rears are ridiculous there fronts are very competitively priced for the amount of adjustability they offer

I used to live down the street from timbuktu before I moved to the city. That place is sooo f'ing ghetto some nights. Food is alright I guess.

Really? I know the V1 had that issue. I thought they fixed it on the V2 with the flex joints. I'll check it out.

Ok, I can't vouch for it's ghetto-ness on any given night. But the last time I went, our waitress had an *** that you could sit your drink on [of the caucasian persuasion no less]. I do recall having an overly-greasy crabcake though, not sure if that's how they do it in MD or not.

Really? How much for a front bumper, sides, splitter and a touch-up job on the rear bumper? The price and the inconvenience of getting all the parts to a shop [with only one driver] is what's kept me from getting mine done for so long.
