Long story short, I need a new tC front bumper and to have it painted/ possibly installed.

what's a good place to get the part from?

Also, anyone know of any good people or places in the Tampa area to do the work?


Thanks!

 

"new", the dealer which will be pricey. Better off going to a junk yard.

 

If all you need is the "shell" it actually isn't that expensive from the dealer. I think I paid $220 for it and then paint etc. was another $200.

 

Yeah, that's all I need. Do you know if it comes from the factory prepped for paint or if it has to be prepped first? thanks.

 

Some companies offer it just primed and I guess some companies offer it painted but sometimes I wouldn't trust it to come already painted. Who knows what kind of paint they used or if its even color matched correctly. I actually went to Sherwin Automotive in Orlando the other day for a quote on a pint of FM paint. They gave me two options, decent / maybe or matched as best as could lol. The decent / maybe option was $30 bucks while the latter was $80. It could mean a huge difference so careful if you buy it already painted. Your best bet, is to get one from a junkyard and have a reputable shop paint it.
