Ed30 look pretty spot on to me though.

Post by: yarickpi on July 13, 2015, 06:15:54 am: acuraoemparts would be a good place to get your OEM eplacement parts. Back bumper is like.. 289 on Acuraoemparts? Not sure about hood, but painting your bumper is at least 200.

Post by: PT82 on July 13, 2015, 08:25:48 pm: I have just taken my car in to the bodyshop for the sills to be done. I am also having the standard bumper sprayed. Leaving the very bottom part though. Will post pictures when done if you are interested. To be fair my car is black so doesn't show to badly how cheap and horrible the standard unpainted plastic bumper looks.

Would love some photos please, very tempted to give the same treatment to my black GTI.
