i’ll be the first to say i like stock alot better then the bimmer one. first off it looks kinda squished, almost like a pug nose. second, it reminds me too much of the mouths from the movie “Cars”. third, i like the lines in the stock one better. the BMW one looks like it matches the car fairly well, until i look at the stock pic. then its almost refreshing cause it looks more normal. but then again this is all my own opinion, it would definately be different.

it doesn’t look too bad, but I agree that the stocker looks better IMO. That one is just lacking something (can’t put my finger on it)… looks too plain or something. Then again if it had some fog lights in the lower corners and the scion emblem in the center, it would probably make it look a little more complete.

still, doesn’t look bad… :tup:

But, is it fiberglass or urethane?

have a shop do it…my guess would be 500-750 fully prepped primed and painted…maybe even installed.

Don’t waste your time ordering the materials because you would still need to order flex additive.

Best bet for quality and paint matching…take it to a reputable shop.

and find somewhere that has the black sand pearl paint and that will spray it

[/quote]

automotive paint is mixed on the spot by the store. noone will “have” it but anyone can make it for you

and flex additive functions by ruining the paints molecular bond, and new bumper covers are stiff enough to not need it (compared to the yellow plastic bumpers of the 70’s and 80’s)

if you hit something hard enough to need flex additive, you just hit something hard enough to need to repair the plastic too, meaning it needs paint anyways

1 qt base  
1/2 gallon of clear  
no more then $500 to get it painted if your parts are properly prepped (including the fenders so the painter can do a proper blend)

leave the bumper off, have them paint it off the car (ensures the edges dont peel) they can cut/buff it on a stand, install it yourself if you wish
