Default FiberGlass Front Bumper Estimate to install and fix





I have a Mugen style Front bumper for my DC2 GSR.... this is what it looks like (its not the one i bought but a picture of it from the site i bought it)

well it was a closeout sale my Girlfriend bought it for me for christmas even after i told her not to, that i would rather go myself to test fit when i bought, either way it was in my garage on christmas, she paid about $75 but the problem is its a bad fitment.

The Mounting tabs are all short and dont have enough to drill mouthing holes, and even if it did it cant be bent to line up, .....

I called the place she bought it at up, and they said it can be mounted that i would just have to take it to a bodyshop....

Whats is the going rate / to mount it and fitted $$$?? from what the guy on the phone told me "meaning prepping, sanding, shaving, filling gaps, or other extensive body work. It will required fiberglass/bondo/modification work for proper fitment and installation."

I know its different from bumper to bumper, but there has to be an average cost so that i know whats reasonable when i go in and get some quotes

thanks

there is no average cost... every shop is different. (the amount of time they charge and how much they charge per hour etc etc)

your best bet is to just take it to a bunch of different shops and get an estimate...

u can take it to one shop and they'd probably charge u 100-200 hundred...
while another shop might charge you 400-500....
