In Need Of a Body Shop

hey guys

I need to find a decent Body Shop in the Mississauga area for them to swap my headlights. I asked for a quote at a local Honda Dealearship, and they wanted $185 just to take off my bumper and put in my OEM headlights 'cause it's 2 hours of labour. WTH is that? Thanks guys in advance. =)

y dont u just do it yourself.. its free... and its really easy.. ive done it numerous times... its a matter of unscrewing 4 or so screws to take bumper off.. and maybe 4 or so screws per headlight...i dont know y u would pay someone to do this.

would there be a problem if i take off my projectors (which uses h1 bulbs) back to oem headlights (which uses h4 bulbs)? don't tell me i need my original wiring harness again?
p.s. i don't have a garage and car jacks and it's kinda cold outside to be doing anything outdoors. =/

unless you just got in an accident and likely will have fitment issues theres no need for a body shop.

Usually when I need some help doing something I just ask for it in the local sections and offer a bit of a reward (or at least lunch and some beers)
