fiberglass bumper filler paint costs

[Thumper]

What are your estimates for the fiberglass bumper fillers to be cleaned up and fitted to the car, painted and then installed, this is front and rear, on a black gn. What would be a fair price?

thanks
Bill

Paid $200.00 for full set of Danko fiberglass ones painted to color match my white car but also had a set of NOS front urethanes that they also painted at same time. Total of 6 pieces done. The shop color matched from a busted piece of the old one. Put the fiberglass rears and urethane fronts on the car with fiberglass fronts put up to keep as spares. Would have been $150.00 for set of 4 pieces painted. This was done by a body/ paint shop and I did the installs which you too can do. You do need a buddy to help you align the bumpers. A bike jack works well to steady bumpers too. This price may have been alittle high but it was from one of the best local shops around in my area. I am pleased with what I received. HTH.

Did you have any problems with the rears fitting and lining up with the body and under the license plate properly? If you could post some pic's of them that would be greatly appreciated. I am going to be replacing mine pretty soon.

I had a slight bit of overlap on part of the two pieces which doesn't look too bad. I didn't have a helper when I fit my panels for the drilling and hanging so did the best I could. With someone helping you, you could acheive close to perfect results I think. If you'll PM me your addy, I'll get a pic out to you. The instructions that come with the Danko pieces are good- review and read them if you go that route. You can also get them direct from Danko and possibly save yourself a few $.

Evans,
Tried to pm you but it would not accept due to your message box is full.
Could you post some pics here so it could help other TR's owners too.

Thanks,
Gary

Hey Gary,
I have the same type of rear fillers on mines, same situation of overlapping, had to loosen the rear bumper to slide the rear fillers in, due to they aren't as flexible as the originals, good luck
