Here's my guy in Broward

(954) 941-5999 Phil Wallace. Tell him "Yellow Focus Guy" recommended you. Yes, more people know me for my commuter car than my 1. Sad, yes. But my Focus is my "project car" (no warranty). His shop is in Broward County, on Sample Road at U.S.1.

On my Focus, he charged me $290. That's the best I found.

As for if it is worth it, here's the numbers. BMW Body shop charges $500/panel. For bumper molding and hood, that's $1000. My indy body shop for my Focus charges $300 a panel, but then that would depreciate the vehicle. If a BMW shop does the paint, "No" depreciation. If indy shop, you MUST report that the car is "repainted", and then you get depreciation.

Pay $300 for the clear bra. If film gets torn or chipped, it is warrantied and replaced. So when you sell/trade-in the car, the front bumper and hood are "perfect".

Simple :->
