If your cousin was quoted $1200 for a bumper then having a whole car painted for $100 more is a steal . Seriously , you are geting good advice on here from ppl that know these cars,if you decide to spend that amount of time and money on this car then why not have the factory do the paint right first time for you and save money on other things that you have experience with and do not have to worry about screwing up .
By the way, if you are getting a deal with CATUSA due to exhange rates then jump on it, from what I see and hear they do not drop prices often if ever.
