Front Bumper

So I was driving to work this morning and out from below the suv in front of me in the middle of the road happens to be a huge thing of retread and with no place to go I just had to take it in my TC. What I was wondering was if there are any good places to look into getting a new front bumper and get it painted around the vancouver area.

Sorry to hear that how bad was the damage? You might get in touch with Honeybucket, and see if he could do it for you!

I was thinking about it since Vancouver Toyota charges 220 for an oem and this one
would be cheaper except for shipping.

I was really just looking for a front bumper that would work well by itself because I don't have the dough for a full kit right now plus painting.

So I took my car upto my buddies parent's house in woodland and pulled off the splash guard and melted it back into shape with a heat gun, then pulled out the fog lights and wrapped the cords with electrical tape and tossed the grill into my trunk with the old foglight. I also found out that my headlight's mounting brackets coming off the top are broken so I am planning on getting the Black angel eyes and am currently saving up to get the Flex Fiber Buddy Club 2 Body Kit So if anyone knows of a shop in the area where I would be able to get those I would be interested in getting their name.[/url]

Might check Speed Concept in Aloha, Or. I've know Tony, the owner for several years, should be able to hook you up, you might go w/ Downhillspec to get a better price, you know, guilty by association...
