Seeing as how the eyelids are pretty small pieces, I got a few questions:
1. Would it be worth it to get them painted at a bodyshop, or the dealer? Or will the dealer be a rip-off regardless how small the job is?
2. Anyone have suggestions for a good paint / body shop in the Tampa, FL area?
3. How much do you think this small paint job would cost me?
Thanks all!  |

The dealer doesn't do any painting. Only a bodyshop can. A dealer can only sell you the part and then recommend a body shop to you where you can get it painted.

Ferman Collison Center in Tarpon Springs does some really good work.

Ferman Collison Center also has really good prices. For just painting the eyelid pieces they'd proably charge you about $60 to $75.
