I got my rear bumper from newtakeoff and there was only one small issue. I knew I was going to repaint it no matter what since I don't have a factory color on my car so I just randomly picked a color when I ordered it from them. They called me the next day to say they didn't have any bumpers without paint flaws in the color I selected. They offered it to me for half price though! Woot. I told her to send me any color, but one that is in the best condition possible. They sent me a black one and it only had a few small scuffs on the surface but was otherwise in perfect shape. I recommend calling them to place the order to make sure you will get one in the best possible condition in your color.

On private property while on vacation in Alabama - girlfriend got backed into on her motorcycle, no injury so the cops would NOT write a report or ticket. The lady that hit my girlfriend refused to take any phone calls or accept certified mail from HER OWN insurance company and they refused to pay. We had to file against our insurance to have the bike fixed and then our insurance company went after her insurance. Took almost a year to get fully resolved.

I vowed that day to NEVER leave the scene of an accident without a police report being taken - even if that means being taken away in an ambulance. If there is injury suspected at all the police have to write a report.

On a side note - the girl that hit my girlfriend owned a "manufactured" home on almost an acre of land in Bay Minet, Alabama - that property and "home" had an assessed value of LESS than the NADA retail value of the motorcycle she hit.

ALWAYS GET A POLICE REPORT - no matter what it takes to get it !!!!

No crazy are you crazy are you no.
I have a dash cam with a 2.1mm wide angle lens. It worked for
mylast accident when someone pulled intotraffic right in front
of me. Didnt even see him until I reviewed the video. Got KBB
book + some and thats how I came to own a new 07 Stang.
The DVR and cam was the first mod! I also have a magnet mount
for under-the-car-inches-off-the-ground videos.

I have order from NewTakeOff.com and was very pleased.

if you get it painted already install it yourself. takes about 30 minutes and saves about 100 dollars. it's like replacing a light bulb. trust me it's not worth taking it to a shop

True. Everything you can do yourself is money that you saved but I'll change a light bulb quicker than a Mustang bumper. And I replace more Stangbumpers than light bulbs on a regular basis lol.

olvanish

Takes longer, yes. But all you need for that is a 10mm socket and a phillips screwdriver. That speaks for the difficulty of the job. You don't even need to lift up the car. There's 2 bolts on top next to the headlights, 5 on the bottom where the bug deflector is, 4 on the sides and the access to them will be made easier if you partially remove the fender well (phillips screwdriver to remove 3 bolts and 1 plastic clip on each side). It's gonna come off with the grilles and those are snap ons so are the turn signal lamps. I believe I didn't miss anything. Worth a 100 bux?

pascal

How' bout a small flat screw driver for those push-on clips?
Hey,since we're having fun... Have you ever change a turn signal bulb on a 97 eclipse? I hate to work on that kind of garbage but sometimes I have to do it. Anyway, to do this without busting your knuckles and emptying your cursing bag, you have to be a Gynecologist.
