my bumper is finally painted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got my bumper back today, I still need to go to the bodyshop tomorrow and get the bumper buffed, and wet sanded so it matched the rest of the car better. A friend drove my car and I took some pics with a crappy camera.

Yeah, it's off, according to the body shop, they said they are gonna buff/wet sand the bumper and the car, and it'll be a good match after that. If not they are gonna re paint it.
Yeah, TEIN FLEX can't really lower the car much which these. When I get wheels, I might swap with another one so I can lower it.

Yeah, I thought about that. I hate wheel gap, so it wont happen. There is like a.25wheel gap with the rear settings, it bothered me a lot at first, but now I'm kinda used to it.

did they match the paint to the car or just mix the paint and shoot the bumper without the car there?

oh that's why then....it's hard to match a color without the car..lol
I can match that color almost perfect...it's hard to butt match colors perfectly without blending into body panels
My bumper and sides are just a touch gray, but you can't really notice it...probably only me since I painted it
