Getting $700 for my dented front bumper, oh what to do....

 

get a front bumper and then a lip kit man. or springs

 

i got a front bumper for sale... buy it and you will still have $ left over.

 

its kinda one or the other. if i get the springs it'll be forever until i can get the lip kit. its gonna cost like 400-500 to put on a new stock bumper, which will leave 200-300 extra.

 

what kind of bumper u selling? and how much? all that other info too, condition and whatnot

Check it out.

 

i really really really like that front, but i have 3 issues. 1) how much would it cost to repaint, i've heard its a b**** to sand down and repaint a bumper like that 2) would u sell the grills or tell me where to get em and 3) how would it look with stock sides and rear.

 

^ hit me up on AIM or Yahoo and we can chit chat. Preferably on Yahoo.

 

where are you located?

 

I would say forget trying to strip it down and repaint it. Requires way too much time and not really worth it. See if you can find one on ebay or somewhere thats already the matching color.

 

im located in North Carolina. Bottom line is this, im tryin to do the most i can possibly do to my car with the $700 im given.

 

You should spend it this way! hahaha I wish there were a smily face for thumbs up.

 

RETROFIT..and still have 200-300 bucks to spare

 

stock front and springs, a single aftermarket kit part would look out of place on the car, especially if you aren't lowered.

 

thanks for all the opinions! ima go with the stock front and springs. now next order of business is what springs? i will be on stock wheels for a while, then i'll upgrade to 18's. i dont want it be slammed but i definitely want it tucked. any input?

 

yay, good choice man!

I'd say s-techs are a perfect choice for you, or the hotchkis, h-techs would be too high, as would TRD and likely progress..

 

oh right, oem front bumper cover is 182.25 +ship from trd sparks, save yourself some money there.

 

can you post a pic of your bumper to help us help you decide?

 

Save and get a paint job.

 

he'll be saving a while, plus he'd still have to remove the dent from the front bumper before the paint job, unless of course you mean get the new bumper to keep until the paint job then just scrap the old one and get the new one painted at that time...
