    yes the oem stuff is over priced if you pay MSRP, but if you get them at invoice you save about 100-150 per item. no point in getting the bumper since its painted plastic (but then again I don't think I have ever seen a film from Toyota for the plastic area's).

    for the hood and fender film I think I paid 195 for it but had it port installed (PIO).

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    If the Toyota film holds up as poorly as the material all Taco's have on the rear wheel fenders, I'd steer clear of it.

    OP - the respray sucks, but as long as they properly correct any orange peel afterwards, it'll be 99.9% perfect. May want to insist that a stand alone detailed does the paint correction, even if it's on your dime. Don't trust the body shop. Good luck!
