87 plastic whaaa?

[JasonC]

That rear bumper isn't even plastic. It's a painted and tucked aluminum bumper.

Thats what i thought... But couldn't really tell.

Kind of a long video but it shows whats involved in putting plastic bumpers on an early model

In all seriousness, what would you charge if I had ALL the pieces in decent shape to do that? Full respray in single stage jet black, or base/clear (cost on both, por favor)

I was lucky enough to buy the car off the guy who did all of the body and paint work, so im not sure. I think cost would depend, you could probably do it for $2000, but if you wanted something like my car it would be 6-8

lmao, I was just gonna ask the same thing. I just had my shit painted like a year ago and the place that did it sucks cocks. The paint is already chipping off. :hitler: I want to get it repainted but I don't want the same crap ass results.

But back on topic, the bumpers are the easy part. If you want it to look legit, you need to do the rear valence, and that's the part that's not noob friendly.

I have a valence sitting in my garage right now, waiting on less shitty weather.

It is not gonna be too tough to do, except for all the goofy shit I plan to do. A normal install can be done nicely in about 4 hours. Urethane and self tapping screws, but replace the screws with rivets after satisfied with the fit.

I swear, my car is gonna be the 1st 4,000 lb E30.
