Love the car...I have black on black as well and was always looking at the L-sportline grille and the TTE lip (great combo). I was also thinking of having my entire front end painted. Just out of curiousity what did they charge for the painting and installation of the grille and the lip with the painting of the rest of the front end??? What did you exactly get painted (hood, fenders and bumper)??? Or did you just get the hood and the fenders blended and the bumper painted??? Shops around here in NY would probably charge around $1000 to do that work; is this about right?

BTW does anyone know where I can buy a new door panel/molding (lower portion of the front passenger side door on the outside)? Somehow mine is slightly warped out (1/4") but whenever I bring it to the carwash the spinning brushes start to rip my new rubber seals (on the bottom of the doors) that I just bought. Now I know why it was torn in the first place.

When I got the quote for the front end to get repainted it was $1000, that was before the accident. The owner of the shop repainted everything for me and installed the front lip and grill as a favor so it didn't cost me anything.
