D&H Auto - Painted Body parts

Anyone used these guys?

I am thinking about ordering a painted bumper for my 95 Ruby Pearl as my factory bumper has a lot of damage (more than just paint damage, damage such as scuffing, abbrasions, etc).

Does anyone have any experience with their paint quaility? I would like the bumper to obviously match the rest of the car within reason. I am not a perfectionist by any means, but I am tired of looking at the scrapes.

~$250 seems pretty reasonable to me

Wow, I hope someone has had experience with them. I'd love to fix my ratty bumpers.

Bump guys, seriously considering buying this. I saw maybe 3 threads in a search, 5th gen guys, it looked okay in the pictures posted on the org. Big thing I am wondering is the quality of the paintwork.

that is a good price, although you can find cheaper if you buy an aftermarket new bumper and have a small body shop spray it, but you won't save that much though. this is a pretty good deal.

Hey guys, just an update...

I ordered the bumper cover. Took about 3 hours to install, mostly the learning curve for removing the tail lights, etc. The paint match is perfect and the fit is okay. A few random bolts didn't quite line up, however this was symmetrical and these bolts were redundant, not actually necessary to hold the bumper on and not visible. It may be that I have a different years bumper because it looks like it doesn't stick out as far as the original, but this looks sexier anyway. That may be why a few holes didnt line up. Overall I am very happy with this company. Also, it shipped 2 days after I ordered it and I got it like 4 days after it ordered! I used the ebay branch of this company.

I am amazed that the paint matches my 15 year old paint!
