Hello everyone..
I already have a 300M with 95k miles. Love the car and all its power and comfort. the interior is in fantastic condition... the exterior could use some work.. my brother rear ended someone in this car. the damage isn't terrible but i can't stand it. the bumper is cracked near the bottom. one of the headlights is cracked. I'm not so pissed about that because both of the headlights are fogged and need replacing anyways. Right by the back passenger door is a dent with a scrape. it's pretty decent size.
So the color of this car is Bronze w/ tan leather.
I want to get the bumper replaced, have that scrape fixed, have angel eye headlights (from ebay) put in, and have 01-04 tail lights put on just to update the style. Finally, I'd love to have the car painted black. That's not a must, I just think it would enhance the car.
How much do you think everything would cost
The headlights/tail lights alone would be approx. 400
I don't think the front bumper would be that bad since they just have to put on a new one
They'd just have to pull out the dent on the scrape as I intend to paint over the car anyways..
So, a ballpark figure would be great.
Should I go to a chain bodyshop (Maaco) or just stick local. I live in the suburbs of chicago.
