Hello,

Does anyone know of a place or can recommend a shop from where I can purchase a Win Style front bumper. My understanding is that it will most likely be a fiberglass replica which is fine with me, seeing that I can't justify the price of the real deal. (For a '99 GS300).

I'm in Southern Cali so anything local would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

These are not replicas though and although some of the prices are nice, it is nowhere near replica pricing. I am not advocating replicas but reminder99 has some cost requirements.

 

ahh yes you are correct

hmmm

i remeber reading somehting someone said about replicas

the originals are 7 layers of fiberglass

FRp and some other terms i cant remember

really made me think twice about a fake explosion rear i bought off of EBAY for $50

now its sitting in my basement ..

honestly reminder ...whats the price diffrence between real and Fake

also i think the fakes dont come predrilled or something like that

Edit ok found one for $225
but take my advice ...save up..... in the long run ...i think you will be better off

 

Hey T.L.W.

Thanks for the heads up. The avg price I am seeing for the replica is $200. And quite honestly it's just the same as the real thing. However being that the real and replica have a difference in the layer of Fiberglass, in reality you can have the bodyshop "strengthen" it by adding a couple more layers. Probably will cost another $100 at most. But for a total bill of $300 vs $800, I'd rather save the $500.

 

hmm didnt know that ..learning something new everyday

id rather save 500 also ..

good luck and post up some pics when you can

 

Well I can't post pics...actually don't know how. But I do have pictures. Reason I need a new bumper is because my idiot brother cracked it. But I do have pics from before it was it.

Anyone want to host for me?

Oh and you may be wondering why I'm looking for a place to buy a bumper seeing that I had one already. The reason is because the shop I originally bought from, had a dispute....long story short, I don't want to go back to them again.
