Finally got my bumper repaired after much drama getting the new one. It used to be grey, now it's black. Wish the paint on the rest of the car was this nice.

Man, that's shiny! Eurotrim looks great too. It's a must on our cars. One thing I noticed is that your exhaust seems to be hanging a little low. Maybe it's just me???

Just make sure your car is in the garage when you cut down that tree...

It does look a little lower than it should be.

I seemed to think my exhaust hangs low too but looking at the rubber hanger and bracket they don't appear out of form.

Nice, I gotta do mine too. Saving up for euro trim all around, a nice bumper respray, and some rust removal on a door and lower quarter panel. Just trying to find a good shop that won't f**k it up.

Beautiful car. I need to get some euro trim for my car. I'm getting sick of those damn lights on the side, lol.

The exhausts just hang lower. I have replaced my O-rings and had the exhaust completely off looking for bends and it just seems to hang low.

I've had this bodyshop do a few odds and ends for me before, the guy does good work. It was $275 for sanding and painting and he charged me $75 for some plastic repair of the cracks on the very bottom. It looks great and matches perfectly. I really need to get after the rest of the car with a buffer though to get it up to snuff. Also the front license plate holder needs a coat of wax so it doesn't look as faded next to the newer trim.

Yeh it was definitly worth the money. I needed to replace one of the rear ones anyways because of the accident so I did all four. If you are on a budget I think doing just the front ones would look nice.

I got them from the dealer cause I already had an order in. I think the fronts were 25 and the rears were 22 each. Then I got lucky and the counter guy gave me 10% off my whole order!

Looks pretty nice, just needs a good buff.
