98-05 GS300/400/430 Front Bumper
Hey,
I was browsing this website and found some front bumper for the 98-05
GS300/400/430. I dont know if its a good price or not but I though someone on this site might need one. Check it out if you need a front bumper.

john,some shops refer to a bumper as a bumper cover.....this is a front bumper.
i dunno im shopping for a new front bumper myself....was bout to buy a used one from the classifieds for like 175-225 shipped might be interested in trying this for $89.90 SHIPPED. im sure it will have mounting issues but i may seriously try this.
EDIT:
FUNNY thing, looking at they have 3 bumpers .One for the gs430,gs400,and gs300 ALL with different pricing and surprisingly the gs400 is the highest
gs430 for $89.90 shipped
http://www.neweggmall.com/Product/20...0/product.html
gs400 for $159.90 shipped
http://www.neweggmall.com/Product/20...0/product.html
gs300 for $74.90 shipped
http://www.neweggmall.com/Product/20...0/product.html
BTW they all use the same part # with a addition of a -1 and a -2 on the gs400/gs430 and all gs's use the same front bumper. so i will tell you what OP ty for posting this.
im gonna buy the gs300 bumper next week. will mount it before taking it to paint and let you'll know bout the fitment.....and then will have them shave the side markers and license plate if they on there and then paint my new bumper/TTE Lip/TTE Grill if it fits ok.
stay tuned guys....i will let you know in the next week or two bout the fitment

I'm looking to buy one for my '04 gs430, so please let let me know if gs300 cover fit on your. Why spend twice the price when they all fit for all models???
Can anyone verify if all 98-05 GS versions are the same and fit exactly the same?

yes, all gs's use the same bumper....i said that in the last post i made. although as i also said im sure there will be some mounting issues i mean its a 90 bumper man, you cant expect OEM fit be we shall see what happens. if i mount it and i dont like it, i wont use it and will try and resell it and buy a OEM one but before i spend that $ i will try this cheap one

Please Let Me Know on the Fit!!!
Hey guys this is an interesting post...I took a look at the website. It clearly states aftermarket not OEM...so yes a concern should be with the fitting issues. If someone pulls the trigger on this please let me know how that part works out. I do not need a bumper cover, but for a $100 it is not bad to have sitting around as a backup!!! :-) `Brian`

we, specifically me, addressed the issue of fitment due to this being a aftermarket bumper in this thread and then in the post RIGHT above yours i also addressed the issue that the price is NO longer $100 but that its almost $200 so i will no longer be ordering this.
i was ok with possibly wasting $80 on a bumper that might/might not do what i want but im not ok with spending $200 on a iffie bumper

Sorry man you are right I was not paying close enough attention to the postings above. Yeah I hear ya...I wouldn't do it for $200 either. At that point I would take that money towards a new one.
