Does anyone know where I can find a rubber pad for my front bumper for less than a fortune?

What's a fortune?

Mikey914 on here in member vendors sells excellent & perfect match to OEM ones for around $350+/- & used will run $30-50 for a noodle or damaged one, $100-200+ for better condition ones.

Otherwise, I've seen a salvage yard in Tulsa area & another in OKC area that sells used ones at various prices depending upon condition, which I've seen advertise on eBay.

You can also check other parts classifieds on here, 914club, ClubNARP, Pelican, eBay & TheSamba (Porsche parts FS), as well as pm bdstone (bruce) & GPR on here to see if they have any used ones (but these all add shipping costs). I've seen some in ads in recent months.

Maybe some of the other OK Teeners will speak up as to what they have locally.

Oh & ......

Good Luck!

I'd go with Mikey914 also. Everything else will have 35 year old steel in it.
Just my .02c.

I do have 2 seconds, one has scarring in the front a strip about 3"x1/8" 1/16" deep. The other has a small bump where the stud mounts, and a few minor scars. Not perfect, but really not bad, and they're not pristine. I usually throw these on ebay, but if your interested, PM me your email I'll send pictures.

Go with a fiberglass one from here: http://www.carlrudolph.com/index.html

Will not warp and the cost: $195 for one or $365 for a set.
