Hey guys,

So I bought the bumper via shrockworks group buy. Just the bumper no tire carrier. Also got it powder coated.

I'm I'm Michigan and was wondering how much should a body shop or mechanic charge to rip out the old bumper and install this new one?

The Body shop I went to removed the bumper for $100. He said it took him 5 hours but was charging fair.

But his guys couldn't figure out how to install it even though I was able to print out the instructions and also include Tim's YouTube video for the (removal of the stock bumper + installing the Sonoran steel body mounts) when he installed the CBI bumper.

So now he took it to an auto care half a mile down the road and the initial quote was $400 but said it could be less when they start looking at it tomorrow.

So is the total of $500 reasonable for body mount install and an already powder coated bumper?
