why did you do that again? By doing it you lost the VIN sticker and now the car is like a salvage title to me personally.

No I bought another '95-'96 bumper from a nycmaximas.org member for $10. It's going on Sunday.

I bought the fender from an org member. It was $300 to paint the front bumper, fender, and gas tank door from a local shop (Circle Collision). The paint isn't perfect, but after a good wax it'll look even better. |

This is one of those jobs I've been putting off on my car for...oh...10 months now. Glad to know it's not as difficult as I was thinking.

Yeah I waited hm, 4 months maybe. It really isn't hard at all. The only thing that made it hard was the fact there was a couple rusty screws and the splash shield was a bit of a pain but whatever. I'm really happy with the way it looks, so just get it done already! |

Yeah and bondo would have to get painted anyway. Popping out the dent didn't even come into my head. It's easier to just buy a fender and get it painted. |
