i had to replace the bumper on my 99 one time so i just hit up ebay for a prepainted bumper and everything, fit and matched like a dream
Since the title of this thread is "bodykit" I would think we're not talking about a OEM front bumper.
there were some posts about the stock bumpers and clip ons
Clipping on a lip to the stock bumper is still not an OEM part.
key words...stock bumper...why isnt this in a different section anyway??

Your point is what? We're talking about ADDING ON something, not STOCK OEM parts...

It is beyond re fiberglassing... I dont have any pics atm but the back bumper is waaay beyond repair. Someone in a 06 Z71 backed into it.... metal and fiberglass bumpers dont mix.

I am really leaning to the S Style kits... its a replica of the Saleen bumpers. I can get both the front and back for $980 shipped. Just got to find the prices to paint them around here. Friend of mine painted the first 2 and did a crappy job... then tryed to play it off. Therefore Im going to just take the 2 bumpers to a shop.

Sorry if this is in the worng forum, didint see another spot for it.

Well... how about this.

Putting all my orginal bumpers back on the car, and buying some rims with the money, and getting a new front bumper later on and a GT rear bumper.

Alright, been doin some researching and I think this is my plan:

18x9 / 18x10 Chrome Saleen Rims/Tires for $1284
Found here

Sell my Stock rims and front/back/side bumpers and use the money from them for a new front and rear bodykit.
Found here

Does the price on the 18s seem good? Any suggestions on where to buy them for cheaper mabey?

Its beyond repair, Dont have any pics to show.

It has about 8 cracks on the driver back side. The driver side is almost falling off. Therefore one whole side would need to be remade. Thats way more work than im willing to put in.

Rather just go ahead and buy a poly and have better durability and fitment.

Anyways, any thoughts on the plan up there?

Thats a great deal, but I want atleast 17" and would prefer 18". Hence why Im curious about the price on the Saleens.
