Default KAMINARI front bumper

Hey guys, I recently had to replace my front bumper due to a truck tire on the freeway. I replaced the oem bumper with the Kaminari bumper, however my car is dropped 2 1/2 inches and I didnt realize that it was going to be so low. I'm scared im going to mess up the bumper and was wondering if anyone would possibly want to trade their oem bumper and some extra cash for a brand new painted Kaminari bumper with grilles.

I don't have a digital camera but if you go to Kaminari.com or even check some topics on this site they have lots of pictures.

it depends on if you are willing to swap your oem bumper in exchange as well. If your oem bumper is in good condition I'm willing to make a deal.

My car is being repaired right now. It doesnt get out the body shop til the end of this month. I got hit on my drivers side by a Big Dodge 2500 Turbo Diesel.

If you still have the front bumper by then, I will be interested.

How low does the Kaminari front bumper sit off the ground with the springs you have?

Like I said earlier...if you still have the bumper by the end of this month, I am interested.

I guess just keep in touch.

What is the condition of the Kaminari bumper that you have?

lived all over the area really. mostly in denham springs though. my friend jeremy has a rs 1.0 tc. he lives out in zachary but works off perkins so you might see it around. and heres a link to the tc we totaled on a test drive http://www.wreckedscions.com/gallery/SciontC/7044e4ef only 6 miles on the odo. some guy in a van turned in front of us on jefferson and lobdell. they hold up good in wrecks but the airbags are the killer.

I see a lot of tC's around here but I haven't gotten to talk to any of them. I don't think they're car enthusiasts. I only know one other tC out around here who has plans to mod his car. I do know a good bit of xB's out here though.

What made you move away?
If you're from BR, you've got to come back home for crawfish season. There's no way you can miss out on that.

No you have to have humungo titanium ***** to lower your car/have a low bumper just about anywhere in Louisiana. My friend's Eclipse got stuck driving into a parking lot. It was really funny. The roads are really bad in this state.
