Oh yea and 40 bucks to tint my tails and third.

I would "blue" out your heads and put a light tint on your tails. two cheap mods. And xlt mirrors with painted caps would look good too. Trucks looks so much better.

i have a hard time believing that would be very high quality paint they'd be using. the only place that quoted me any lower than what i paid was maaco... so i think i got a pretty decent deal, especially considering the lifetime warranty, the quality of the job, etc.

do me a favor and go to a body shop and ask what should I have paid for the following:

2006 Ford F150 (post Aug. 2005)

-New grille
-New paintable upper valance
-New emblem
-Refinished and repainted front bumper
-Refinished and repainted rear bumper
-Painted grille surround
-Painted upper valance
-New bumper step pad
-Assembly and labor

Keep in mind this is factory quality paint done by a certified Body Shop.

Man you were off, way off. its really not a big deal. And yes peterbilt holds their end Very well. Also considering they do completely rediculous custompaint jobs day in day out, i trust they would do a good job. Let me rephrase, they do do a great job. period.

I'm saying you paid to much because you paid for all new parts. All of mine are used and look just as good refinished and repainted.
