I back out 1' at a time. Too many idiots on the roads that drive cars with no insurance even. Freaks me out, all the money I have in my car. Also a lot of ex-mexican drivers in my area, christ, they really don't care.

Pascal - I want the GT/CS rear valance you have. Is that the one you have on your car now?

Sorry boozshey, got so excited about pascal maybe selling his rear bumper I forgot about your original post . Yeah, some good polishing compound and maybe a clay bar will take all that paint off and it will probably look good as new. however the stripe is another story. vinyl, right? that's not going to be so easy to straighten out. also the crack in the bumper.

Removing all the transferred paint will make a huge diff, though.

Yep, that's the one.
Those bumpers are popular right now... I wish someone would make a repro to drop the price down a little.
Let me know when you're ready man.

I thought I was going to need a new bumper when some dumb**** hit an ran my rear bumper.
But they heat it up, form it to shape and repaint. Looks as good as new if not better. Only cost me 150 bucks, but I knew the bodyshop so it was a discount im sure.

It was a round indentation and at the top it was split open, hard to see in the pic, but looks perfect now.

I wish it would only cost me that much. But the bumper is cracked by the license plate, also the stripe is paint not vinyl...

a new bumper and paint job... about $1000?

I hate to ask but do you have the side louvers? Did the guy notice them? He'll say your vision was obscured![]

The rear bumper painted is 159+ shipping as I stated. Painted stripes shouldnt be that much. Its has to be a less than $500 for the whole thing.

Nope, I don't have louvers. The parking spots were staggered and couldn't see him behind me once I started to make the turn. I honestly think it was his fault, but of course I will be bias. He was a young guy, license said under 21 and he just got finished with an interview at Harbor Freight and landed a sweet new job. So he was probably excited and not paying much attention.


explicit... Man why you got to make jokes at my sweet paint brush skills. lol
