Smile Feeler FS: JP Type A Front Bumper 03-05

Hey guys, this is a feeler for now. Going to try to sell locally for a little while, and then decide if I want to ship. But, I may consider shipping right now. I will also meet within a considerable distance.

Few things to let you know about the bumper: the bottom has scraped, and in the center of the front it is cracked from when I was pulling into the car wash and the cement was up too high. It isn't super noticeable, you can barely see in the pics I'm posting up tonight. But I will take close up pics of it tomorrow. It also has quite a few rock chips, and I will get more detailed pics of those tomorrow also.

The paint match is 9/10 in my opinion, it isn't super noticeable, but I can tell sometimes. Fitment is 9/10 and you can see the fitment in the pictures. No holes have been drilled extra, or anything like that.

JP foglights are also included. I have them wired up, but never got around to isntalling a switch.

If I keep it, I plan on having it repainted because imperfection drives me nuts. I haven't had an estimate ran on it though. I've also decided that I need to have a front that isn't as low as this one. It doesn't drag on anything on a daily basis, but where my parents love sucks.

Anyway, this front runs $599 brand new from JP, and the foglights are $198 brand new. Mine isn't brand new, but you could probably get away with just a respray and it would look back to perfect because the rock chips aren't deep at all. I think it needs a better clear coat or something. I'm not super intelligent with repainting, etc.

I'll consider trades, just let me know what you have. Price: $400 obo (includes foglights).

Talked to my paint guy today, he said the reason the bumper is chipping so bad is because they probably didn't sand it before shooting the paint on. Makes sense.

I'm going to have him repair the small crack and sand it down to be repainted. So I will be selling this READY to be painted WHATEVER color you want!

The bumper is $600 brand new (no shipping included). Foglights are $198 brand new (no shipping included). Obviously, my price will be lower than that! I'm not sure what I'm going to ask just yet because I need to get a price quote from him on how much that will cost. I do know he charges $250 (labor and paint included) to paint the front bumper. He does awesome work, he normally repairs wrecked vehicles and about a year ago I had an old woman bash in my driver's side door in my Dodge Truck, and he fixed it perfectly.

Anyway, I'll definitely be pulling this bumper off in the next month (I'm having a stock bumper painted) and then this one will be prepped! If you DON'T want it prepped, I can give you a better price. So just let me know guys!
