Default Front bumper question

I have the chance to purchase the front bumper in the attached picture for $75. Is that a good deal?

Does anyone have pictures of this bumper on a car without the rest of the body kit?

I personally wouldn't put it on my car - especially just the front bumper. Would look weird without the sides/and or rear

The thing about cheap kits is that you will need a really good painter/installer to do it. You should really look around to see if any painters in your area have dealt with that particular kind of kit. Last thing you want is, even though you got a cheap bumper, your painter decides the job calls for more labor hours and overcharges you because the kit is so difficult to work with. Determine if that overall price is worth it to you. You may look back and see you could have afforded a real vertex front bumper with paint. Hopes this helps.

I believe that was the bumper for sale in Indy, I passed on it because of the fitment issues with noname ebay kits. If you had a decent body guy do the job you might end up lucky and have it fit ans etc with minimal work.

As for warning, don't buy the JIC kit on ebay. You'll regret it.
