I ordered my new fenders primed and I am going to order my front Bumper here in the next few days! Just a question do you think I should order it painted or primed?? I can pay 140 to get it painted at the bumper place or put it on and then get it painted. I imagine the body shop would charge me more To paint it, but then again it won't match right if I get it painted off the car?

Hmmm, lazer red is a very expensive color. The body shop will bend you over. But it will be done right.

Let the body shop paint it. I don't know how much sun your car has seen but I am sure a 2000 will have faded some and the body shop and correct for that. If you have it painted then shipped to you then you run of the risk of the new paint clashing with the old paint. Plus, if the body shop doesn't do it to your liking it is easier to go talk to them about it and have them correct it.
