I found the same job online for about $5400 for the front bumper and two fenders.....so i guess $1725 for the same thing is not that bad??? Now i only have to do the rear? Which he said he would hook me up on that too??? I guess there are some nice people out there in the world!!!
Greaat news!!!!!!



You are going to be really happy with the widebody.

P.S. Don't forget that you need new wheels and tires.
P.P.S Make sure they are quoting you the price with all of the parts...not just the fenders. You need the grill parts and the inner fender liners and brake ducts, etc. The cost of all of the bolts, etc. adds up quickly. Also, check out how they are going to fill the gap between the inner fender liner and the fender. The main part of the inner fender liner is a bonded in structure that I think cost about $350 per side for the parts....and it is a major installation. I trimmed my existing inner fender liners and fabricated a filler strip. They can do it either way....just make sure they have that work included in your cost...you don't want any surprises once they get started.

I just thought of something....If you add just the bumper and not the fenders....and if the bumper is twisted like runutzzzzz pointed out...you may have challenges getting the front inner fender (part 26 on the fender drawing) to work properly. This is speculation on my part because I used the Z06 fenders and bumper. I don't have first hand experience with just adding the bumper.

I'm pretty sure this is the one with the Z fenders with stock front bumper.
