So I got an aftermarket bumper (vertex) and the current body shop thats fixing my car quoted me 500$ to just install/paint the thing, saying that it doesnt fit at all and that they would prefer not to do it.

Anyone have this bumper and have fitment issues?

Anyone know of a bay area shop that can do this job cheap?

Thanks!

 

goto autozone grab spray paint and diy

 

any help?

 

How come you have not found the regional forum in 2 years?

you dumb noob just made two thread . hahahah j/k man this is your bro .

 

just get it painted and install it yourself.

There is an old saying ... You get what you paid for

In my guess your Vertex front bumper is not an authentic Vertex? Is it a replica?
Well, either way not alot of body shops want to deal with fitting an after market bumper.
As far as cheap goes ...
You could always go stop by some shops in International BLVD in Oakland?

speak to gabe jr and tell him josh from auto rnd sent ya..

 

they quoted me 900$.. thats to much for just installing/fitting/painting a bumper...


went with MS

 

I guess good enough choice ...
What color is your Z? I'm guessing PPW?
Cause Will wouldn't really say that
Well, take some pictures when your done with the paint job
Good Luck

 

spoke with gabe jr and that was my quote.. didn't want to haggle with the price...

my car color is yellow...

thanks i'll take pics when its done!!

 

ms looked at it today and there are some gaps near each fender..

 

I'm not an expert on every bumper that was made in the Z after market industry, But that gap part don't sound right?
Give Intense a call or someone with a Vertex front.

 

oh boy, just got a call from ms body shop.. they said the paint match went good... but the body line is off near the bumper to the fender

what does that mean? They say its flush where the fenders meet the bumper.

I got a bad feeling... Also they said the wheel well flap won't fit on this new bumper thus dirt will get up into my car..

 

keep us updated

 

ugh.. going to take pics at 2pm... wish me luck..

I hope it turn out alright and that any flaw is not noticable

 

nvm
