Update - I just picked up my car today, and it looks really good. I have made the right choice to get new bumper. Initially they have spot painted and it look like shit, especially in the sun! I would not recommend spot painting to anyone after this. It just looks like shit. They have matched the paint very well, even under the sun or bright lamp I can't tell the difference. The pearls match really well now. Also, they had to put on New front A-Spec kit. They could not reuse the old one, since initially the bumper was spot painted by them (after I told them that I want new bumper). It came back and f-ed them in the ass. The clear coat bonded to hard to the rubber on the A-Spec kit. It just could not be removed with out ripping the rubber.
Overall, I am very happy with the job and THANAKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENCORAGED ME TO GET A NEW BUMPER! With today’s technology it is really not that bad to get new bumper replaced. After inspecting the bumper for about 1 hour, I can’t tell that the bumper was ever replaced!
