need a bay area body shop to install vertex front bumper - help :)
ok.. I got my car back today
The fender bodyline doesn't line up with the bumper, this might be because I a version select replica of the vertex front bumper. Ray was not able to get the lines to line up.
The line between the hood and front bumper was weird, meaning the hood was higher then the front bumper, thus the hood looked raised.
I think if i got an authenic vertex bumper I wouldn't of had these issues...
They painted my winshield fluid box black and put a mesh on all 3 openings
They were not able to put my mud/splash guard on, thus dirt can get caught up there.
here are the pics of what 620$ install and paint job gets you with 430$ cost of replica bumper shipped to the body shop.
1050$ total cost..
What do you think?

I'm confused, real or replica? Personally too much yellow Banana for me. But I'm glad you got a new add on.

I got 978 from the other body shop because they couldnt do the job...
500 went towards my deductable and 478 I am putting towards the 620..
Seems a bit pricey for not fitting..
I figured that it was a replica rather then a authentic Vertex ....
Only because you said there were fitment issue ....
Well, nicely done Mr. Origin Lab Banana guy
