Any reason not to order parts from a 3rd party?

    I want to have both front and back bumpers + spoilers replaced on my car. Two different body shops are coming in high with parts costs. Is there any reason not to order from either a Toyota overstock (dealer) or someplace like Painted Auto Body Parts?

    Make sure the body shop is okay with using parts that you supply.

    Some shops will do it without batting an eye. Some will do it, but won't guarantee the results, and others won't even take on the job in the first place.
