I have a special group discount offered but I need a few more bumpers aside from mine. Right now I have 9…need a few more.
Two members are already bringing me theirs. Anyone else? FYI..before I send them in I pressure wash, bake, bead blast & re-tap M8 mounting holes. Chrome shop is offering: Option #1 Straight flash and triple chrome= $350.00/ea Option #2 Minor dents (up to 3) and hole fill in of bumper tit holes (if requested) = $375.00/ea Option #3 Other moderate repairs within reason, also triple chromed= $400.00/ea That is for either Front or Rear. I engrave a two digit number on the backside mounting bracket to ensure you get your original bumper back, I can do initials too, if requested. I need 50% deposit. Taking them to chrome 9/14/18 so get them here ASAP. Please allow leadtime of 3-4 weeks, perhaps sooner PM me for shipping address Please remove all grills, plugs and other hardware prior to shipping in bumpers. Oscar PLEASE BEAR WITH ME...Chrome shop is taking a bit longer than expected!!! Almost done with this GB (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Late arrivals added.... |

I would be in for this, except I’m driving to Rennsport at the end of September. Bad timing...

Hi Oscar - I'm interested for a front and a rear. I need to take a look at them and assess where they stand in terms of requiring repairs. I can do that this evening.
Thanks! |

Great Rob & Mark
I can cover return shipping for you two or anyone else shipping in 2 or more. My way of paying it forward and thanking you all. This is the first time my Chrome shop offered me such discount. It pays to be a good customer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Oscar |

I am in for a front, its a bit rough but is straight, currently on my car - its the one I got from Noel, and the bumper guards from another member close to you(Nacho). I think it has some small tap spots that are under the bumper guard but no rust or major dents. If its not over $400, its a go. My last bumper was just done by a company in Tennessee and they charged $475 and it was straight with no dents, so this seems to be a good deal to me. I will have to get it in the mail to you asap,
Count me in. Philip |

Which is better to send for chrome, a bumper that needs dents knocked out or one that is pretty straight but rusty (chrome is peeling off and base metal is pitted). They are both early fronts so I don’t have other choices.
I got Dion covered. |

Ok, I've pulled the bumpers out - front is in pretty darn good shape. The rear is going to at least need the "3 dent / 1 spot fill" add-on.
I'll send you pics, Oscar, and see if I can get the address then. Ok, I need to find a box and get these out next week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) Thanks! |

I feel like I need to go buy a set of used ones so I can get in on this awesome deal. Even more so since the parts car I own has Bubs(75)

Noel has a few bumpers that qualify for Option #2.

Wow, those rears look better, most likely, than the one I just popped in the mail to you. If those are still available when mine gets there, it may make sense to use one of those! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
