Stopped by a trusted local body shop today and discussed getting my front bumper painted (including filling the license plate holes drilled in my bumper) so I can lose/relocate the front plate and also stop getting irritated at the lack of clear coat every time I look at the bottom of my bumper.
Shop will remove the bumper, sand, repaint, and reinstall for $400.
Will be dropping off next Thursday as it stands right now.
Thoughts, comments, and opinions welcome......
