View Full Version : I need a new front bumper. Big-Sexy907 02-07-2005, 03:42 PM Can someone point me in the direction of a salvage yard that would have a front bumper cover? Mine peeling rather badly and I would like to correct the problem by swapping bumpers/ Unless the previous owner can tell me the name of the shop the car went to before so I can pay them a visit and see if I can get the repairs made. Thanks all! Wes_FSTGDB 02-07-2005, 05:18 PM What do you mean by peeling? As in the paint peeling? If so then you can just get the bumper repainted. That may be cheaper than getting a new one. -Wes Big-Sexy907 02-07-2005, 06:25 PM Yeah, the paints peeling pretty badly. I took a look at it and it seems that there is no primer on the substrate, and the paint is brittle and flakes easily. Leading me to believe that whomever painted it didnt know what they were doing or was in a hurry to get the job completed. AK_2002_WRX 02-07-2005, 09:31 PM yeah, try northwest or northstar auto on boniface. isn't that bumper all hacked up from a FMIC install also? Big-Sexy907 02-08-2005, 01:06 PM AK_2002_WRX is correct, the bumper was hacked from a previous FMIC install. Thanks for the connect, I just hope they have what I need. svt_contour 02-09-2005, 12:32 AM i just talked to Nick, the previous owner, and he said that the bumper cover was never repainted, it is stock paint. he only had the lip kit he got for it painted. -Erick Wes_FSTGDB 02-09-2005, 03:22 AM i just talked to Nick, the previous owner, and he said that the bumper cover was never repainted, it is stock paint. he only had the lip kit he got for it painted. -Erick Heh, are we talking about the "Nick." -Wes LowNSlowNeon 02-09-2005, 04:14 AM Get the bumper repainted... if its hacked in a professional manner leave it.. you might have a fmic someday.... or maybe you already do and Im just the dumb n00bie JordyB 02-09-2005, 04:35 AM How many people in AK have a WRX/STi with a FMIC??? ;p Need Money 02-09-2005, 05:20 AM Hahaha...........Nick had the first one aps......than sold it to Sam........A guy named Justin w/a psm wrx worked at walmart/wells fargo(not wrx8u82) had a blitz, than Min got his Turboxs, than I bought a greddy and sold it to Darkaura cause I was demodding to get me a bmw.
