Valence estimate!
 

I figured I might as well stop by the dealership body shop and see how much it would cost to replace my valence...

$531.67 painted and installed...

Only like $165 or so for the valence itself, lol. Cheaper than ordering off ebay!

Gonna swing by a non-dealership body shop tomorrow, if I can and see how much they charge...

Labor might be less...


$90 an hour for labor at the dealership...

3.1 hours, lol... So that's $293 for labor..

$70 for paint.

oh i thought the title was "valance eliminated"...that would be the cheapest option...lol

I want my valence... It helps with gas mileage :D

Why not just use some DupliColor automotive paint and do it yourself with 10 bucks in paint....that part gets beat to death anyway...

The pricing is a little outrageous don't ya think? I could do it myself for a lot cheaper ;)

RE: Valence estimate!
 

haha ya i agree u should just paint it ur self. its bound to get chipped and stuff so y pay a bunch of money when u can just paint it urself

My brother(95_4door) just bought one from his store(Advanced Auto Parts) for $20, paint it yourself and your set for $30. Install is easy.

Installation is peanuts...

But not all of us can paint [8D]

Gonna check out one of the other body shops, and if it's still expensive like that, then I'll try myself... But I can guarantee it's gonna look like ass :D

do you want mine? its thrashed....lol

RE: Valence estimate!
 

lol, no thanks :D

I want to get it fixed, not make it worse.

Maybe I'll try my dads way and fiberglass it.
