haha I would do the Sport bumper (22b bumper but fits on non-wide body GC's) but I'd have to run the jdm front bumper beam which is basically a paper clip and not structuraly sound AT ALL so I don't feel safe with it.

hehe, a lot of people don't understand that, less metal means less safety. I can't tell you how many hondas I know who have removed the bumper beams completely to save weight.

does that include paint and installation?

one of the main clips (the one that is held on by the 10mm screw) has mysteriously broken and either need it fixed or a new one

amazing job with the paint though

The price includes taking it off your car, painting, and reinstallation..

thats probably going to cost you like 4 g's... body shops around me are in the $8k + range. That's expensive...

Not speaking for Ballz but I would imagine its a lot. Especially depending on how much body work is actually needed before it even gets sanded down.

+5k for stock repaint probably another 2k for custom paint. These are just numbers I've seen.
