    Ok, <rant>

    My wife has driven my car a total of two times *cringe*. I felt like I won the lottery the first time it came back unscathed. Not so lucky the second time...

    DOH! A curb close encounter of the wrong kind with the whole front lip of my car. (She felt reeel bad so I couldn't get too upset).

    Wife: "I always pull up until I feel the curb with the Suburban :roll: . How was I supposed to know?"

    All I could do is chuckle (and NEVER let her drive it again).

    Anyway, I bought a Cusco front lip and need to have it painted. Where should I go?

    Thx

    Josh

    How about DIY? Invest a lil $$ and you'll be like a pro. My first time was good, not perfect though but nothings perfect the 1st time.

    Hamline auto body for sure, and here is why.

    Because Brad stuck by his work and turned what could have been an ugly situation into a good one.

    The silver side skirt group buy in the end came out great. At first we had the wrong color sprayed on it but the shop resprayed the skirts and they look awesome. + cheaper than quoted origionally.
