Default Best place in Everett to get bumpers painted/installed?

I'm picking up the front and rear bumpers from a seller on Tuesday and I'm going to need them painted BSP. Then installed on my car. I'd prefer to stay in the Everett area since I live in Oak Harbor and I don't have a whole lot of time to get this done. My schedule isn't the best right now and I can't be without my car for more than a few days.

At least someone I can call for an estimate.

The guy I'm buying from is using Cascade collision in Everett and I'd like a little leverage if they can't give me a deal I'm looking for. He was going to talk to them about my car, thus getting them business and maybe saving us both money. Otherwise I'll go where I can save a wee bit, as long as the quality is good.

Also on a side note while I'm throwing that skrilla around I should get some side skirts if I can afford to swing it. Are there any dealers that can match TRD Sparks price? That way I can do local pickup and get everything installed at the same time.

Thanks for any help.

Joe

TRD Sparks is in the Southeast region of the US, meaning they are not governed by the same pricing structure as the rest of the US - which is why they can charge so much less.

Any dealership that wants to make a dime off a parts sale cant even come close to their pricing. Kinda weird how Toyota does that...

Well that's a bummer. I guess I can always install them myself at a later time. Side skirts shouldn't be to bad. Plus my grandpa has a lift I can use.

I already wasn't planning on this exterior upgrade but I'll just go with what I have for now.

Does $800-900 sound about right for sanding / primer / pant and mounting of the bumpers (front and rear)? They're white as of right now.

I've never had body work done before so I'm clueless.

bumpers are stock bumpers? or they part of a used kit??? if stock and in good shape... i'd say 8-900 should be ok.... shouldnt be too much prep/fitting work done if at all... maybe a touch on the mid-high range... but you get what u pay for

if its aftermarket.. may require a bit more prep time.. pending quaility of original paint job

The bumpers should fit right up, they're rs 3.0 bumpers. They seem to be in good shape. He's just upgrading to a full body kit. So I got a decent deal on them.

I think I have seen your truck before. I'll be sure to honk next time haha.

Joe, there's a guy on craigslist selling his RS1 lip kit, maybe he's willing to part out.

I got a price quote to buy a new front bumper, have it painted and attached for about 800, seemed pretty pricy. I am going to just find a used one with the same color.
