Default Graffiti front bumper with 25+ hours into it

So once upon a time, I ran over a dog destroying my custom bumper, and while it was getting fixed decided to take a plain white bumper and turn it into some art. My then girlfriend, hand drew with Sharpie the bumper you see below. She has 25+ hours into it. It really is "art" and pretty damn cool if I do say so myself.

With that said, I don't know how to quantify value for such a thing. I don't really want to sell it, but have no real place to put it. As such, why not let someone else enjoy it.

Disclaimer: You will need to JB weld some of the end tabs that connect the bumper to the fender, but it's not a big deal and will work fine.

Prefer to sell local, but am willing to ship at buyer's expense.

Again price is subjective, but I figure $300 is a fair number. Let me know if there is any interest.

Easiest way to get a hold of me is via Ben@stanceworks.com.










And here are pics of the bumper on my GS:

Kind of the same reason people get tattoos; personal expression and what ever floats their boat.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It was fun to rock for a period. Hell, it makes for great garage art if nothing else. I just don't have any room for it.. I'm to offers as well.

i wouldn't mind rocking it, although would clash with the black TTE lip i have and im waiting on the price changes as i dont wanna lowball you but this is the cost of a new bumper with good tabs.

i assume if you shipped this, you would greyhound it?your located near jeff and parker right?
