just got my car back with new bumper

Well I got the new bumper. I'm gonnma take some pics. Looks good. better than I thought. Here are the bad news:
1) My NeoGeo Pocket was stolen from the car while at the shop. I left it in there as a test becuase last time I had money taken but couldn't prove that it was them. (I couldn't remember if I lef the money in the car.)
2) I ordered the AE housing. They ordered 1 side bronze and the other normal. He has to reorder the other side. DOH!
3) I can read the highway signs again. HID are bright without my magic ugly tape.
4) I had them put in the Xtreem white from PIAA for the fogs. It looks the same I think. Its daytime now so I can't tell but it still looked dim and yellow. I'll check tonight. As far as I know they took my bulbs and put in cheapo blue bulbs...

How much the new front bumper did cost you ? I might need to replace mine if not too expensive instead of repairing it.

Thanks for sharing.

Look really nice, better than the stock ugly grey, did you painted the grill contour in Chrome ? that look nice too, let me know cuz yesterday I kinda explore the front grill to see how to remove it, but it is actually part of the bumber and cannot be removed unless you cut it, but the contour can be removed for painting.

Cheers

Yeah you have to find one of the original posts I did. It mentioned that the grill is part of the bumper. Thye chome ring comes off. So I didn't paint it.
