Default FS: Auto Couture Front Bumper

I recently started a new job that has some killer speed bumps.. and my car is a daily driver.. so it looks like I am going to go with a 97+ fornt bumper..

My auto couture bumper is for sale.. it has been mounted on the car for almost a month and is in great condition.. there are some scrapes on the bottom.. but once its repainted then everything will be fine. There are no cracks.

I paid 2k for the entire kit.. so i'm looking for at least $750 + shipping for the front bumper.

If you think these prices are bad, do some research.
Retail price for an auto couture bumper is $950 + shipping.

Pictures available upon request.
Fogs, grille, and sidemarkers are not included.

New price $750 shipped. 1/3/06

I believe his car is the same color as yours Cloud 9! Thats a beautiful peice too . Cant get any better than that. If someone has the same color to match it this is a good deal.
And dont forget , if you wanted to get it from a supplier it could take a month or so.
Good luck with the sale Workaholic

Platinum is a very tough color to match anywhere on the car where it is in direct light, even when using something like a vindicator. I can almost guarantee you that if you put that bumper on any other car it'll be pretty obvious that the paint between the hood and the bumper is different (subtle differences in paint color are far less obvious between the fender and the bumper due to the lines of the car). If you want the bumper to look right with a platinum car, you'll have to get the front end of the car blended. Basically, if someone had a black car with a good paint job, it would cost less to make this bumper look right on their car than on a platinum car.

hmm the color issue is something to look into. but i have so many dings and stuff on my car, i'll probably get it blended and it'll give me a chance to fix some of dings while I'm at it.

how much clearance do you get in the front with that kit? Also, is the 750 just for the lip, or the whole bumper? Thanks!

The clearance depends on what size wheels you are running and what kind of drop you have.. i have a couple inches of clearance... i'll measure today.

Kosc3 thanks are you coming to lexfest?
