Re: Bottom of bumper

Ok, does the bumper look like the first picture or the second one?

Re: Bottom of bumper

the first bumper he showed a picture of appears to be a 82 to 84 bumper WITHOUT the chinspoiler mounting face. want to use a chin spoiler, looks like you'll be going after a 85-92 front bumper cover. i have one i'd sell you, but the paint is all flaking off, i'd try to find one with minimal flaking paint.

Re: Bottom of bumper

i could care less about how the paint is as long as its crack free and possibly comes with extra's such as the spoiler, lights, grille, anything. i will trad you this pre 85 and some cash if need be

Re: Bottom of bumper

I'd say it was from a sport coupe, which wouldn't work for the spoiler. The first picture is a 86 sc bumper.

Re: Bottom of bumper

i work at a body shop, stripping 5+ coats of paint off a buimper cover to prime and resand for paint is a royal Mfer. email Bbsisek@aol.com, hes a local friend of mine and as of last week i know for sure he had one really nice 85-92 front bumper cover, i believe he also has another still in equal condition. tell him jared sent you, if nothing works out there i'll let you have mine for shipping plus a few bucks, but i honestly think you'd be much much farther ahead to try and get a nice one from brandon.

Re: Bottom of bumper

Thanks for all the info ill email him tonight. i really dont care the condition of it as long as it will fit and its not cracked...i appreciate doing hours of prep work such as sanding and primer that way i can get it exaclty, EXACTLY the way i want it, i bet a few of you guys would agree you appreciate the good look of something even more when someone says, hey awsome work who's your body guy, and you get to say, I AM. i'll send the email to him and let you know how it works out thanks again.
