So in Canada this car had headlight washers. My front bumpeer looks like its been shot by an ak-47 because of the rock chips and I got quoted about a grand to prep/paint it again. I can buy a bumper for this thing for like 300-400 and pay $250 to paint that and have a new bumper. Only problem is none of the come with the cut outs for the headlight washers as well as a mounting bracket thingy for the water reservoir. Any suggestions? I was even thinking an aftermarket bumper route but same thing there, no body kits are made with those provisions...

It is about 400 for a bumper , if you want to stay with anyone who may have painted your cars before giving you a quote no matter what the work involved you need your head checked.
No amount of paint removal costs $600 , hell you could use regular paint remover with a brush and prep it your self as it would scrape off.
Hole for the washers are easy to cut and it will fit fine.

I have paid about 250-400 to paint a bumper in NYC depending on what I wanted to have done that is both with removal and reinstall. The price that they are quoting you is complete and utter crap. If you want to stay with a shop that is trying to beat you over the head you are more than welcome to, me personally I would get another price. Also removal and reinstall of the bumper is a piece of cake so you can do it yourself if you want to save some money, by bringing the bumper to the shop uninstalled.
