My advice get it done right by one of the best in the area - Premier in Fremont. They are not cheap but they did my Lexus and I was very happy. I ended up having the dealer do my BRZ and it was disappointing they messed up the install. For roughly the same price I should have had Premier do it. Last year they quoted me about $600 for the front bumper.

I bought a pre-cut kit from invisiblemask, and I'm currently doing the install myself. I've never done it before, but I'm a DIY'er. So far, it's turning out pretty well and fairly easy to do.

I ended up getting the full bumper, hood/fender, mirror, lights, rocker panel and splash guards. Plan on taking a full day or most of your weekend to do the install. Having a second hand is needed for some parts. So far I'm happy with the results, and given the amount of money saved, it was worth it.

I just got my clear bra done by Vincent at Omega Werk in Pleasanton. He does excellent work. Not cheap though! He does book out one month in advance. I made an appointment with him even before I got my car
