    Did I mention I got mine two-tone painted at the stealership too? Cost me $150 for that. So total investment into NEW GM bumper, two-tone painted (i even gave them a different paint code to use for the lower fascia). Get your asses to waterloo. :P

    If it takes you longer than 20 minutes to take it and more than 20 minutes to put it on you need to find a new line of work

    Just to let you know paint isnt cheap.. Its up to around $60+ average for a pint and he needs 2 colors and a pint is the least you can buy, he probably took it to a shop that does work professionally, and did you ever think they might have to blend??

    I'm well aware of why the price is as high as it is, that's not the issue. The issue is that I don't have $1k. Not to mention that there are plenty of stock silver 03 GP GTs on and off the road, there should really be no reason to charge $400 for a reconditioned bumper cover then re-paint when I can get on already painted in stock Pontiac silver for far less.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate it.

    i just picked up an '99 GT for a DD and it needs a bumper cover and fender. I've got a GM fender already but i'll be going with an aftermarket bumper on it. I could care less if it has an arrowhead on it or if it doesn't look perfect

    I just have a problem with the guys who thing people are dumb (not saying this is you) I needed mine done took it to a shop came up with $1200.00 quote 350. was for removal and replacement of the bumper I said "ok I'll take it off myself and drop it off." He said can't do that federal insurance regulations state he has to take it off and put it onher wise if I have an accisent he is liable so his insurance wont let him do that. Two other shops told me the same thing. How the hell are you liable if I install the part. Dealer agreed to paint it for free (he owed me a favor) if I dropped it off he laughed at the insurance part.
