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.

*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. (all bumpers will have the bumper top holes, fog light/grill square holes)
Please ADD the holes you wish to have.


Option A/ ADD tit bolt holes. N/C
Option B/ ADD front plate bolt holes. N/C
Option C/ ADD rear plate bolt holes. N/C
Option D/ ADD rear tow hook hole. N/C
Option E/ Front bumper cooler mod. $150 (guesstimate price at this point, final price and availability TBA)

* member has checked their order



All bumpers have no holes unless you chose an option above.

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.
