hey i am thinking of buying a cobra bumper... well the lady wants 175$ for it... should i take it... or should i try and get a lower price... note that it has a scratch on it and its DSG color... so ill have to repaint it and get the scratch removed... what do you guys think? (and ill have to get the cobra letters filled in...)

 

ewww a rear bumper i woudl not bother with it i woudl get the 03 cobra bumper which i am currently debating

 

well i am planning on getting a full body Saleen kit anyways but for the time being i wanna change my V6 exhuast to a true dual and need a double cut out bumper... and i dont got enough cash for the whole Saleen kit yet...

 

*bump* *bump*

 

I would just save the money and buy the saleen kit if that is what you want..Buy the time you get the bumper and letters filled you will be half way to the kit

 

to fill the rear end costs as much as buying a new bumper, if you want it done right

 

yeah or if the back bothers u so much just buy the saleen rear

 

I was going to say just buy the Saleen rear. But the problem is you would then have to buy the side skirts and front seperately, this is expensive to do instead of the entire kit. I have a saleen kit. Also, are you getting fiberglass or polyurethane? If you have the money definately get urethane. however, the fiberglass is a perfectly good kit, IF you follow these two steps: 1) Make sure your painter/installer KNOWS what they're doing, fiberglass is very delicate when installing. and 2) be very carfeful driving for if you just even nudge the bumper into a curb it the paint will crack. the bumber will be fine, but now you'll have cracks in your paint, and these ARE visible fron 5 feet away

 

ya i was gonna ask you about that springs... well i am glad i didnt buy it yet. thanks alot for the help buddy!

 

hmmm... i think i wanna go with polyurethane... but damn i dont wanna have to wait to save the money for it... because ive seen the urethane kit go for 800$ and the fiberglass kit for 400$... but i also dont want it looking like sh*t... so i guess ill just save my money.

i really appreciate all the help you guys have given me so far. saved me from making a huge mistake....

 

dude seriously, even if its cheaper, youll end up spending more

DO NOT GET FIBERGLASS, one little scrape and it breaks, seriously, dont even THINK about fiberglass, get it out of your head now

 

Jason, clear some of your PM's it says I can't send because your inbox is full

 

Don't worry Springs, I'll stop him. Tomorrow morning I'll post pics of the imperfections in my fiberglass bumper such as the cracks, chips, spidering paint, and bubbling paint. FIBERGLASS = BIG NO NO!!!

 

haha consider it GONE! thanks for the information... almost made a HUGE mistake...

 

thanks. i've really wanted to see what a fiberglass f*ck-ups could look like... i cant wait to see the pictures tomorrow.
