Yeah, IP is pretty hard to match... but when I got my entire bumper repainted it was only $250 (I know the owner, about $300 if I didn't). Colour match isn't perfect, but not noticeable (so far nobody has mentioned to me that it's off... only I notice because I'm looking for it!).

If it were me, I'd rather pocket the $850 and spend that on mods...

haha lol yeah at least you got a cheap price. hopefully i can get a hold of my friend when the power come back for him. if not hopefully i go through the phonebook and call them all up then check the place out see if they get good business lol. ever car shop i ever been to in baton rouge always be like wow a g37 we never done any of those before. I finally found one that never had a g37 but they knew family members and gave me discount and i try my FI exhaust with them and they did good job so they my new go to mechanic. To bad they dont do paint jobs.

ima agree that painting just the bumper for 1100 is one hella crazy price. but if ur nitpicky about stuff maybe it's what u gotta do but i would never pay that much

maybe ask the doods that install the top secret kit in houston
gillman nissan. they seem pretty legit with a few members getting their kits color matched well.
