Introductions/bumper swaps

[buffsfan]

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my car, but if I don't... I want to swap out the bumpers. It seems like a 2k job netween parts (800 ish) and labor (I'm getting quoted 200-400 per panel in the DC area)... anyone want to chime in on what they paid for theirs? I've read a bunch of threads on it... If I take the car back to denver, I'll probably start collecting the pieces. Once I do the swap my guess is I'll never get anywhere near what I paid for it.

I also need to do suspension... maybe get bbs rs wheels down the road.

WOW !!!!
I'm glad I do my own work your gettin robbed!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with sticker shock. That's part of the reason why I'm selling. What is "reasonable" in non ridiculously priced areas like DC? $100 per panel with light prep?

Some guy wants to sell me his bumpers (400 for both) and front valence (350). Ugh

I payed 200 for late model bumpers and shocks.

You sir, are getting screwed over

Don't pay 2k for the swap, that's ridiculous. There are plenty of DIY bumper swaps on here. And the price of the valence (if it doesn't include fogs or is lip) should be ~$100.

Did you pay 10k for your car?

[buffsfan]

I need to look around and learn how to paint. I think I'll just start collecting the pieces as I see them - I appreciate the input. I did not pay 10k for my car

He has a vert. Which has small arches. A bumper swap should be a hell of a lot easier for you than on a sedan.
