    Whats a plastic bumper swap worth?

    Got someone coming up to buy the full plastic bumper conversion for his cabbie - front and rear, valance, foglights. What's something like this worth? Good condition, and same paint as his car...

        I sold a rear bumper with shocks for $150 plus shipping. Fronts go for about the same. Valance is at least $100. Fogs are too, if they are uncracked. He could get more than $400 for it in pieces. You taking it off is worth knocking something off though. (though removal shouldn;t be too bad).

          Agreed - on both of your points. I'm offering $350 - I think that's fair.

            dave, I know, i was just joking around ;) , i'm actually happy that you decided not to part out your car because it would be a shame, it looks so nice in your sig!

            I think $350 is a fair price and I'm planning on hitting the road tomorrow morning.

                The parting may have just been postponed. Who knows what the future holds . . .????

                  Don't split the cabbie up. Just don't.

                  Here are pics of the car you're taking the bumpz off.

                        Maybe on the front. That rear one should rip right off from the looks of things. :P

                          :rofl:

                          I dunno, the front bumper on my super eta came off with no spraying, just a 2 foot breaker bar.

                          NJ - damn, can't I sell something to someone near buffalo?!?
