Gauging interest, Bumpers, Stainless steel.
Group buy, ten sets and it's a go. Note we now do have more than ten potential buyers. Looks like $1200/set plus shipping, Shipping will be approximately $150. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yes sorry please note the price has gone up. Shipping would be by UPS, Fedex or TNT what ever works out the best. You will get a tracking number. 304 polished Stainless steel, thickness is 1.5 (.060) to 2mm (.079), the stock sheet is 2mm the bending and stretching means some areas get thinner. With brackets, we can delete the tit bolt holes and the licence plate mount holes on the front. Would at least be 8 weeks out, I have to get the first set for approval. I will want a deposit say $250, the deposit will be non refundable*, but you can give/sell it to someone else. Balance would be due before shipping TBA. I won't be taking deposits till I approve the sample set. If you have some points to make on what features you want or concerns you may have, now's the time to speak up. So if your interested chime in, but please only if you are serious on getting in on the buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) *Notes Price is not 100% firm yet, lets say it's 97% firm. If in the odd chance the deal doesn't pan out or if there's an unreasonable price increase the deposit would be refunded. That said I don't expect problems either way. Besides I won't be taking deposits till the the final approval and the price is nailed down. Sorry my fellow Canadians...of course the prices are in USD. Options Note I have changed the option from "delete " to "ADD" All bumpers have no licence plate, bumperette (tit) or tow ring/hook holes.

Just a general disclaimer: The car I'm using to check the fit is my cherry, never been hit anywhere anyhow '74 914. I'm also sending bumper tops so the fit of the top can be checked, I have good condition bumper tops on my end to verify the fit. I'm doing a shit load of work here guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) If your car has been hit, rust restored, etc. etc. etc. I can NOT be responsible for poor fit. These also should be considered 10 foot away bumpers, I'm trying for more like 5 foot away. That means from 10 feet away they look perfect. If you're expecting absolutely perfect concours quality bumpers please do NOT buy these bumpers. Get your OE bumpers rechromed. |

Got mine at HPH. I know AA sells these also and there is a place in the U.K that also has them. I am assuming yours are from the same manufacturer......Vietnam ?
Makes no differance your price is better..... For those who don't know the differance between stainless and chrome you would have a hard time telling them apart. My bumper shines up way better then this pic shows. |

Nothing like original chrome finish, stainless constantly needs attention or it will eventually have a dull finish like the above picture. Maybe on a DeLorean but not on a 914. |

one set please option A,B,C,D,E if you can ship to the UK No problem, but I don't know shipping cost and you are responsible for any taxes VAT duties brokerage etc. Is the plan to do it like the GT opening where the full opening is completed by the valence? or is it some other configuration? Yes, you would have to mod your valance. Your stainless bumpers may shine up better than in the picture but the shine doesn't last very long. Nothing like original chrome finish, stainless constantly needs attention or it will eventually have a dull finish like the above picture. Maybe on a DeLorean but not on a 914. As stated these are not chrome, yes you would have to polish these up every so often. A good coat of wax should protect the shine for quite a while. But on the huge pro side, if you damage these they can be banged out, TIG welded polished up as good as new. Lets see you do that with chrome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

If someone is on the fence on hole options than leaving them out is an option and drilling them later. On a steel bumper, rust could be an issue when drilling new holes. |

On a steel bumper, rust could be an issue when drilling new holes. IIRC, one of the alloy additives which makes steel into SS is chromium, which is throughout the SS, & so the rusting should not be an issue, even if drilled (vs. only the chrome outer layer on regular steel bumpers being the rust protection). It's also what requires TIG instead of MIG welding on SS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

You also have to ensure with mig and stick you are using stainless electrodes. |
