    :+1: for Raymond Autobody

    I'd also check out Abra (The one I went to was in St. Louis Park) since they're not as expensive and was happy with the work they did on my WRX :)

    I would say easy a few grand. At most places, just to do the front and back bumpers it's about $1400 there (assuming they do all the assembly work too).

    Brad...the Evo guy, lol
    I had mine done at hamline, and it was decent, but could be better.
    The workers there know about the MNsubaru discount (when I went there) and said I didn't really need to mention Brad.

    I had my front bumper painted at my dads shop, same as my scoop... if you want to see the quality you can certainly have a look. I got the bumper new, and the scoop used to be silver.

    I'm about to need a bumper painted. I almost started a thread like this a few days ago. We had an abra do my sisters front bumper last summer and the paints all spider cracked and chipping. I am definently willing to pay for quality. I will look into raymond and hamline, thanks.

    If it's spider cracked and chipping, they'll cover that under their life time warranty
