So my mom backed into my car and cracked the bumper. I have been looking around and bumpers are not exactly cheap. A painted stock replacement from new takeoff is nearly $400 shipped to my house. I haven't checked in at a dealership to get a price because I imagine it would be expensive. I also think just repairing it wouldn't be cheap because it would need some body work then painting. It is not too big of a crack, but would need to be filled. Also, I found this bumper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...6774QQtcZphoto

Is it any good? What are my other choices? Thanks in advance.

Edit: It is a Redfire GT, and I am in MA

 

whatever you do do not buy from boi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are known to sell people certain parts then send something else.

 

I know I have heard that about springs, but they are the cheapest aftermarket choice

 

If you are not in a huge hurry, a lot of people are doing the GT500 conversions and are subsequently selling there take-off stock ones fairly cheap. But like newtakeoffs.com, finding one fairly local is the key. It might help to include your general location and color you need as someone may have or no of one sitting around.

 

some places do try to rip you off, especially ebay ones. dunebuggydude11 got a bumper like that one and it looks pretty good (https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005-2014-mustangs/490243-new-front-look.html), but when all is said and done, it will still probably run you around 400 after prep, paint, and any additional parts needed

 

Good call, I'll have to look around.

 

if you have to replace it anyway, why not go with a different design?

 

That bumper on ebay from BOI is a Saleen Parnelli Jones bumper cover. Excellent price and another MF member just finshed installing one and it looks great. Do a search or if you want I'll send you a link.

Here's the link.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I like how that bumper in the links looks!
I know somebody who knows somebody so paint/prep isn't a huge worry for me, my friend got his '73 Vette done by a guy for $200 and believe it or not the guy did an awesome job.

 

It costs 200 in shipping to get the bumper to you?? I mean the bumper is only $200 and shipping for mine long ago was like maybe $60. I am not sure why its $200 to ship to you
