Need Help with Win Style Bumper
Hello,
Does anyone know of a place or can recommend a shop from where I can purchase a Win Style front bumper. My understanding is that it will most likely be a fiberglass replica which is fine with me, seeing that I can't justify the price of the real deal. (For a '99 GS300).
I'm in Southern Cali so anything local would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

FRp and some other terms i cant remember

now its sitting in my basement ..
honestly reminder ...whats the price diffrence between real and Fake
also i think the fakes dont come predrilled or something like that
Edit ok found one for $225

Hey T.L.W.
Thanks for the heads up. The avg price I am seeing for the replica is $200. And quite honestly it's just the same as the real thing. However being that the real and replica have a difference in the layer of Fiberglass, in reality you can have the bodyshop "strengthen" it by adding a couple more layers. Probably will cost another $100 at most. But for a total bill of $300 vs $800, I'd rather save the $500.

Well I can't post pics...actually don't know how. But I do have pictures. Reason I need a new bumper is because my idiot brother cracked it. But I do have pics from before it was it.
Anyone want to host for me?

Here is the last pic.
Oh and you may be wondering why I'm looking for a place to buy a bumper seeing that I had one already. The reason is because the shop I originally bought from, had a dispute....long story short, I don't want to go back to them again.
