i have the opportunity to get a red 97 sc400 front bumper for $575..thats for the bumper cover, red paint a little worn, lip, no grille, no fogs, with absorbers and re-inforcements..is that a good price? or should i just get the cover and absorber from carson toyota unpainted? either way im going to have to repaint it black to match my car

Well my bumper was in similar condition. No grill, No fogs, No lip. Sold it for 250.

It had a few light scratches in one spot but they could easily be cleaned up.

I would wait till gazi gets one in and pick it up from him

pnyboy27

okay..thanks..i guess ill have to wait then..unless someone who reads this has a nice black one willing to sell me! haha

Get a brand new bumper in Carson Toyota for $260 plus 60 shipping.

575
- 320

= 255


Spend the $255 for grille and fogs approximately $315 for them in Premboke Pines. You can also trim your pre-97 impact foam. Or just toss it either way

pnyboy27

so its just an easy trim? just to make it fit? hmmm..that sounds good actually. at carson it shows $310 plus shipping, and $80 for the grill, and as for the fogs..i think i may go fogless. how much for the paint usually? for a part that small?

Paint ran me approx 100 dollars. I picked my bumper up for 289.00. I am runnin with no fog lights.

i almost bought a full 97+ upgrade for 800 off of a member here on CL awhile back.. thats full conversion.. so you kinda get an estimate of what you can be looking at... i look at it as, 50bucks for the frontbumper and 750 for the rest! now go bargain!

hahahahhaha jk

Trimming is easy, you'll see once you have the 97 front bumper.

Call Luis Salazar at Carson Toyota and he'll give you a price.

werd, listen to these guys. I wouldn't pay that much unless it was the same color as my car, with everything, and I could see my reflection in the paint.
even then....

I bought my bumper for liek 350 or 450 with grille i cannot remember though. The bumper was unpainted also

pnyboy27

thanks! so i guess im better off getting it either from another member by waiting...or getting it from carson rather than trying to bargain down with the $575
