And I just dropped off my front bumper at such a place this morning, by the 
way.  $265 to paint it.

It's not cheap.

Bingo -- you can do yours yourself -- those of us with non-black cars have 
to pay. :)


No comments about the $$ please guys... I know, it's expensive.  But it's 
the same body shop that did my full repaint in the fall and it's worth it 
to me because I know they'll get the color right (the last shop fucked it 
up, etc, and charged $250 for both bumpers).

All I know is that this is the last part I need to _FINALLY_ get my car 
back together!  Picking it up tomorrow - I can't WAIT!
