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

 

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

 

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 ***

 

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

 

lol, no thanks

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

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