    Well, got it back from the shop. Had the logos, the rear hatch housing and both silver front and rear bumper covers sprayed. Love the difference..just need the hidden light bars behind the grill and switch out the DRL/high beam bulbs to finish the front end.

    Original quote was $480. I dropped it off and they got into it and realized they had to take more apart than they thought to remove the front and rear covers so the labor jumped about $200. In total it was just shy of $700. More than I wanted to spend in the first place, but now it's done...well worth it. I thought about going the vinyl route for the logos and just linex for the covers, but since it was already there I figured they could do it all and only have to do it once. I love the fact that it is tough and can take rocks and other stuff hitting them without damage. If my rig had more than 2k miles on it, I probably would have removed all the parts myself and took them in to be sprayed, but with it still being new I didn't want to risk breaking tabs etc and having to replace parts I screwed up.

    Oh yeah..this was Linex "Ultra" that they sprayed. Thinner material, but still just as strong. I've been thinking about spraying the entire outside of my '58 Chevy Panel with it..no more door dings in parking lots
