OEM quality LS-style rear bumper replacement?
I'm trying to contact several shops/fabs to see who can make a full bumper replacement with LS exhaust tips. (I don't like tack-on body kits. they don't look factory. Molded body kits also crack after a few years)
how many of you would be interested in buying this if the price was right?
i figured a group buy would bring the initial high cost down a lot.
Here's a call out to M1 Autosport (CL Vendor)........ Can you make this happen with non-FRP?
hardest part would be obtaining this piece....

that's why i'm polling.
I'm hoping if enough people show interest, the fabricator might offer a good deal.
for comparison, a factory bumper replacement only costs <$300. So i'm hoping it's not much more expensive than that.
if it's too expensive, I'd just get some urethane repair fillers and see if i can fill in the bottom area and clamp some exhaust tips to it.

Around $300... Doubt it. If it was to happen, they would have to make a cast for it and then start production. I really doubt your going to find anyone to do just because there isn't enough 3GS owners who are willing to change out the rear bumper, nevertheless buy a lip kit.
If they do start production, expect to pay easily $500-1000+. My lip kit cost $2k, that's basically $500 a piece.

but yours is imported from japan. that by itself is expensive. and all those jap aftermarket companies are expensive to start with.
