i would just buy oem if i really wanted one.... its not gonna be any cheaper if redskinz made it. the 97+ front lip was only like $150 less that an oem 97+ front bumper... think about how much more material is needed... i think you may be alone on this one.

97+ bumpers are not even that expensive. What are you talking about.

Well typed although not well thought out.. They arent really that hard to find. I'd be interested to see what the cost would be just for fun but surely OEM quality would be the best craftmanship IMO.

they are better off offering a full bumper with their lip 'molded' into the design rather than an oem replacement. my 2 cents.

Flame if you'd like but look around for a used one. Everyone wants $350+. I called a dealership today and they said $575. Luxury mods want $485+ shipping. So a few of you guys flame me but what's cheap to you guys?

the lip alone is $350, the front made out out poly would princely probably run atleast double at $700. Just spend the 300 on a nice used one. Atleast you have the chance to get it in your cars color. If thats to pricey then ill sell you my authentic vertex front cheaper than msrp!

Ok. Since everyone is going to flame me because I'm not rich and I can't drop $4-500 on a front bumper mods please close this thread. I thought everyone would be more mature on this forum. Yes I feel $350 is too much. No I cannot find anyone with one fs under that price. Shipped to Michigan. I'm not in the middle of no where. It's just no o e wants to ship now a days. Damn. No respect.

I just dont think you understand. Even if they made it it would not be sold for under $350. You see what we are all taking about. Its not flaming.

I don't see anybody flaming you on this thread bro. Everyone is clearly stating that it would actually cost more if rideskinz made a replica. The Wald lip they made costs $350. What more for an entire bumper. Nobody's flaming you man, you're just refusing to listen and understand what the people is saying.
