> Yes she was there getting a quote. My paint (and yours too) is super thin and chips easy so I wanted a quote to fix chips and repaint/clear. Come to find out Rally Red is super fuckin expensive so I decided to opt out due to the cost being higher than I expected. They weren’t the only place I went either. Oh well. That will just have to wait.

I was dumb and took the lower mesh out of the bumper and that invited everything the road and air has to offer into my FMIC. I totally recommend against that. Especially with an upgraded intercooler.

How many mil’s is the OEM paint? Where are the chips? People (not saying you, just in general) seem to think that you just paint the tiny ass chip in the parts, and dont understand that your painting the entire panel, and blending it into adjacent panels then clearing it all. Just to “fix” rock chips to make it look new again, your painting the bumper, hood, and both fenders. Red is the most expensive pigment and its an effect base making it even more. I bet the quote was around, $1650? How close am I? What did you expect to pay anyway?
