Re: ebay front bumpers anygood

Got mine for $106 shipped to my door. Fitment was great. I was kinda worried when it arrived, being that it's plastic they just like... scrunched it up horizontally into a sandwhich and then seran wrapped the whole thing and shipped it that way. When I unwrapped it, it definitely didn't look like it was going to fit, but when I installed it, it went very smooth and everything lined up perfectly.

Anytime something like that is shipped they try to make it as small as possible. Best thing to do is unwrap it and let it sit outside in the sun for a few hours and it will take it's origional shape.

One of my buddies ordered an ebay bumper and it came the same way. The only problem was that he also had them paint his. The paint was flaking off terribly. They did refund some money for it though. I just wouldn't have them paint the bumper.

Wow, that's crazy! Who would order a bumper and have them paint it before they could even have it installed on the car? It has to be matched to the rest of the car, factory red is not going to match 10 year old semi oxidized red haha.

I said it was my friend's car, and his is black not red like mine. His car is just a v6 daily driver and wasn't concerned about having perfectly matched paint. So for the price it was a great deal. They also painted the fender, and it looked pretty good and didn't flake(didn't match the best, but good enough for his car) .

Re: ebay front bumpers anygood

I didn't even notice your car was red, I was just using red as a general example lol. Even so, I've seen blacks that don't match at all either. From what I've read on LS1tech.com, GM's factory black had a high amount of brown in the paint, apparently if you shine a flashlight on it you can see it? I think it was 'birds, *maybe* LS1s, not sure how general and broad the range of this "black w/ brown" color was.
