Not a bad price, but why not just get a few quotes from a few different shops and see what the average price is? Then pick the shop you felt will give the best value (look at some of their completed work as well as ask about their warranties and assurrances).

They took out my front bumper and sanded and painted, and then they put it back for USD$275.

Just a reference.

Apparently the replacements they get from Honda aren't painted, they are black

Ok I guess... I can't tell... I am not picky though... But they do have a lifetime warranty. So, I guess if you are reasonable, they may honor the warranty...

But if you are ridiculous, the lady over there who has tattoo all over her body will kick your ass out the door I bet.
