Cost to install IND exterior parts?
What's up guys!! How much are you guys paying for a shop to install the front grille, side markers, front and rear reflectors, and rear emblem? Can anyone give me a good guesstimate for all these parts installed for just labor? I don't trust myself to DIY it. :0)

The front grills are a royal PITA. Unless I if you're hands are small. Either way follow the instructions posted, look at your replacements and push down on the small tab in the middle of the larger tab, while genteelly pulling out on the grill so it doesn't snap back in place. You need to pop the upper three tab and a side tab before it will come out. Then continue to follow the directions.
For the side emblems put fingers from both hands under the edge of the chrome piece and pull up while pulling out. Leave the black piece on the car. Practice with the replacements before hand to see how to do it. Put soft towels on the ground in case you drop something. If you're unsure of your skills go to a good body shop for the rest.

I went to a body shop, over the phone they quoted me 150. Then charged me 350, I faught it a bit and got 250. Apparently they took out the rear bumper to put on the reflectors and after I showed them the DIY thread... regardless it looks great!
Thanks for the feedback! |
