Too excited not to post

I had the emblems shaved on my tailgate. They did a great job! It's not on the truck because I'm still waiting on a bunch of other pieces. Just excited so I wanted to post something

It cost me right about $400, which seemed fair to me. I had it done at the body shop in Liberty Ford. They painted the whole gate. I wanted the whole thing repainted because I had a chip on the edge. Some other places I tried were more. One place wanted $700

Thanks guys.

I don't have the right tools to do it myself, especially the paint. I'd have to buy a new air compressor which is already over $400 lol

Looks good, was that $400 just to paint it or did they shave it to?
