Default Anyone got a bumper?

Hey, I'm in the process of building up my Lexus and unveiling it soon, but my bumper and lip both cracked. Since it's much easier to fix the lip rather than the bumper, I'm asking anyone that might have an old front bumper for an SC300/400. I don't care if it's scratched, scraped, or what color it is. i just don't wanna look too much like a JDM dorifto with these zipties holding up my lip.

Thanks,
-Freddy

I'm in Elizabeth, and actually, I do have fiberglass and bondo at my house, and I can do it, but I wnt to put an aluminum piece in the lip for rigidity, and rivet, then bondo over that. Where is this friend? 20 bucks and i'll do it, he doesnt even have to have the materials. A long as it looks good and holds.

I can get there in 20 mins. Is he available today? or would he have to take off the bumper? can you vouch for his work? any examples?

Keep in mind the lower part of my bumper is hanging off, and needs to be reattached.

I'll take pictures of this bumper that he's working on. He's currently fiberglassing a bumper that someone threw away in his yard haha. I'll ask him when he's available. He's pretty busy most of the time =/

I'd think that your prices would be a bit much for me. I'm looking at the under 100 range.
