Gents..
I sourced another nice rear chrome bumper from a 73-4 914 and wondering what the market price is to pay for re-chromed bumpers?? $______ Need to know to keep DD or go CW chromed after I get some local chrome pricing. Also, I have a pair of nice front & rear factory orig. bumper top seal pads?? I know about repo's but wondering what they are worth? $_____ Keep or throw away? Parts pricing is a mystery now that 914's are growing in popularity (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Tom |

There is supposed to be a group buy going on those through Mark Henry.. I am not sure of status.. I think they look great though.. Status is they look great, but I wasn't happy with a bunch of little things mostly on the fronts. The topper holes were off and grill holes weren't trimmed out correctly being the worst offenders. This all added up to 6-8 hours of labour for me per set, times that by 20-30 sets was a no go for me. They have stated the corrected sample will be ready for shipping next week, but shipping from Nam is about 3 weeks. So if even if every thing is good we are looking at 8-10 plus weeks before I would be ready to ship the first batch. I will update as soon as I've seen and test fit the next set of samples. For CW bumpers you will have to go the rechrome route, all SS bumper brands have a slightly different shine/colour than chrome. But on this point no one but a CW would see it. I'm hoping they can correct the issues because they look awesome on my car... not to mention I'm around $5K out of pocket on this project. |
