It's easy (depending on the car).

My 89 XJ (cherokee) was stupid easy. My 04 GTI is a bitch.

What kind of car. Also, you can find mobile painters on CL who can come and shoot your parts for cheap too.

Buy used shit. Cause most of the time you can the exact part, not that cheap imported shit.

In theory, it should be easy. Plastic bumpers are rarely held in place by more than 8 bolts or clips.

Best bet would be finding a junkyard with that model car and see if it's possible to rip the parts off the same color car. Otherwise aftermarket body parts can he cheap but good paint ends up expensive.

A fun way to do it would be to buy the same car of CL with a blown engine or no title for <$1000, rip all the parts you need off, sell a few more big parts on CL for some $$, and eventually scrap the rest for $300. You can break even or even profit but ease of this depends on the car. My friend who flipped a lot of BMWs would do this from time to time but you need a place to tear the car apart as well as the money to buy the parts car.

Start calling junkyard and searching CL for used parts or blown motor ones... parts are a dime a dozen.

Where do you live?

Philadelphia/Trenton area.

Also are the any reputable online stores or are they all garbage?
