Do it yourself...


A LOT of work, and I am sure a pro could do better, but I am very happy with the results...

Can't find the thread where I showed it...



If it's real straight and not dented up and you are working with a budget yes do it yourself. Try one smaller piece to see if you want/can do more. Having someone do all the aluminum in car like that is $$$. I'd think well well over $1000 for grilles, headlight bezels, trunk trims, wheel moldings... Probably double and plus. There's really a lot of work into restoring those.

But fixing dents, smashes, tweeks in aluminum is very hard to get to look decent. The grille and bezel surrounds on those are common to be smashed flat. And the aluminum's got a lip that's tough to work around (for a non professional). Same for trunk trim.
