Have the body shop bid the full price for the repair and then spiff you or trade for the difference. You will be getting a factory painted bumper and won't have the soft paint problems repainted bumbers have.

Good luck

Thanks for the offer DS, but after hearing how much of a hassle a fellow member on here (vistablue mustang) is having with this company, I'll pass. He has been waiting for 3 weeks for a rear bumper. Plus, I work at a dealer. I get the parts at cost plus a small %. A GT bumper painted, won't cost more than a takeoff, and the bumper is painted by my person at the shop.

Cool deal. I just couldn't wait the 10 or more days it would have taken for the CS bumper to come in. I got it back. It looks pretty good. It has to go back for a few touch ups, but not bad.
