Gauging Interest: JDM Legacy Bumpers

[Steve D]

How much *real* interest is out there for used JDM front & rear bumpers? What are people willing to spend for them?

[kanoswrx]

The rear bumper is different to, I didn't know that, whats different? Honestly as long as the GT STI Front lip will fit on the USDM bumper thats all I really care about.

I don't mind the USDM front bumper, but I wouldn't mind changing out the rear bumper for the smaller JDM one. I don't know what I'd be willing to spend tho.

If Euclid takes a rear bumper, I'll take the front one. :) I do like the flow of the jdm bumper better.

[Crusty]

i'll take one too :D

im in on both depending on costs...im thinking no more than 700...cause i know the front bumper and beam is about 200. im assuming the rear is another 200 or so.. add in shipping and profit and i think its fair.

"vendors, start your gouging!"

Seriously.. asking what people would pay for them instead of telling what they are worth? Paul Hansen could probably tell you exactly what they are worth and how much shipping would be.

i'd like to see some side by side pics of the front and rear bumpers before i made my mind up

Well, I do have the ability to get these from Japan. However, it's not as easy as figuring in my cost and then tacking on a 15% profit. I deal in used parts so my cost varies greatly. Plus, it could be rather expensive. Someone said $700 for the pair...judging by the availability that I see, it might be as high as $700 for each. So I don't want to bring a set over at $1400 and then not be able to sell it. That's why I asked what people are willing to spend...to save myself the expense and effort required in a trial-and-error run.

I personally dont have a problem with the rear bumper, it isnt that bad. I have a serious interest in the Spec B front bumper, because I totally dig the short front overhang.

I'd be interested, but I have two questions:

1. Can the USDM foglights fit into the Spec B front bumper spaces for the lights?

2. This one is very serious- is this LEGAL. Have these bumpers been approved, or will they even fit. These are my most serious concerns.

I'd be intrested if the price is right.
