    Default getting panel beaters to fit bezels..

    gday just wondering what people have paid to get their bezels painted and fitted to their front bars?

    i went to two smash repairs quickly after work the other day, one quoted $350 and wanted to keep the bar for 4 days, and the other didn't want to touch it in case they ****ed it up...

    so yeah just curious to see what people have paid?

    Seems about spot on if they are painting it aswell. I just bought an SS front bar, which cost $400 without paint.

    Comes down to personal choice. Id seen to many mates bezels not sit flush, or start to come out after a few years driving. $400 imo was worth the reassurance

    I also had other paintwork done at the same time
