Hey, Thats a really good price I think to do each bumper. I heard someone around my aera saying 200 to get each done. If there doing all the prep stuff to, your golden lol. I would get it done.

sounds like an iffy job. At that price, it's not even worth the time to scuff it down let alone pay for materials and labor..etc That guy obviously made nothing.

Bumpers are really big. That's the expensive part. Anything up to $300 per bumper is a good deal in my eyes as long as the work is proper.
