and also..the grill on my damaged bumper is not messed up..would i be able to take it off the old one and put it on the new one? Thanks, Ryan

 

used auto parts can be a crap shoot. if i was looking at a bumper on ebay, i would want tons of close-ups of the finish, especially along the bottom edge. also pictures of the mounting points, showing that they are all intact.

he states that it is in very good used condition. that doesn't really tell me much nor do the pictures show any detail excpet that the vin sticker is in place.

my only less-than-stellar buy-side experiences on ebay have been related to auto parts.

$0.02

 

looks like there are alot of small scratches on it

 

You're gambling.

Ebay is cool and all, but sometimes, you get crap!

I'd be hesitant.

 

looks like it has been painted b/c the fake air ducts look to be silver.

 

Fake ducts look black to me

 

yep. Looks like one of the horizontal grills is missing. You could always go with a grill tech grill, though.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong folks, but does the hole to the ride side of the radiator opening, where I think the tie down hook was installed, look like it's been chewed on? On the car's I've looked at, that spot was covered by a rectangular insert. The one in the picture looks almost round.

Thats the way they come. The upper piece of the grill is a bolt in part....

And usually when the bumpers are repainted, the vin gets sprayed too.
