You get what you paid for, does that shop offer lifetime warranty on their paint like EAB does?

Who did you speak to when you went in if you can remember?

Cheers

Manny helped me out at EA. But I got the lip at Autohaus from Dennis who was great and shipped it to EA for me. They are both part of the Fiorzanni(sp?) auto group so it was easy.

But if you're bitter about the original quote from EA then go to 427 autobody. They are a top quality shop who will paint a lip for you for the same price. Either way it's $600 or so for a better look to your car and covers the damage.

427 Autobody does quality work as well. FYI BMW Autohaus is owned by Auto World Imports while Maranello/European are owned by Remo Ferri Group.

warranty on paint does nothing, if you smash your bumper.. thats gonna be your problem, warranty doesnt cover that..

the paint is 100% match. and ive never had problems, ive been going to these guys for over 5 yrs, with all different kinds of cars.. even did a whole car repaint from Black to white.. and its flawless...

I don't know why people think paint should cost so much.

For what it's worth my price to paint a full m3 bumper at European was only $300...

[bulldog_yyc]

better go back and clarify the estimate - sounds way too high

To agree with most, I'd look for another quote. I've had a 4-piece lip kit and a bumper painted for $800 before, from a pretty reputable shop.
