just get them filled and painted, looks way better.

or just buy some plugs from autozone for like 2 bucks and paint them to color match. I feel like buying specialized plugs like this is just pointless and a bit overkill.

Filled with what? Not familiar with the process lol

basically fill it with bondo or some kind of body filler. Most body shops will do it for pretty cheap.

I got it done last week actually:

holes filled:

Thanks, that's definitely an option. I'll probably buy the autozone plugs, use my touch-up paint on them, and try them out. Your suggestion is Plan B

Just stopped by a shop and said he would fill the holes and repaint the whole bumper for $450. Said he's not the cheapest around, and doesn't want to be because he only wants to be known for quality work.

How does $450 sound to you guys? This is to fill holes AND repaint. He mentioned that silver is a tough color to blend and match exactly with the rest of the car...

^How much did that cost you?

[phobic]

$450 is really high IMO.

I have no idea how much that part cost because I had a bunch of other work done at the same time and just paid all at once.

But I will say, $450 is super high for this type of thing. I think $200- $275 would be reasonable as the surface area is not much and the cost of paint would be minimal

I think he wants to repaint the whole bumper so that there is no mismatch in paint :/

then he sucks at his job

Just buy the plugs and save your money until you really need a bumper repaint.
