Not sure where you're at (please add your location to your profile) but I suggest buying a new one from Sunset in Portland. I bought used and put a LOT of time & money into getting it cleaned up & painted. I would have been better (time & $ wise) to buy a new one. Wait, aren't you in Seattle? Easy trip if so!

YMMV.

Paul.

Thanks, I called Sunset, it's $1,300 if I drive down there and get it. It's also 4 weeks out since it has to come from Germany.

I'm starting to consider this, the video makes it look strong.

Looks interesting. I would ask to see and talk to owners of Pcars who have used it already.
Makes a WORLD of difference on the look of your car when installed. You will love it.

Love the video. Has all the low quality of fake **** shown on Cinemax at night Not sure I'd buy a product from them, but the video is way too cool (especially if I drove Elantra with neon).

Yea, I talked myself out of buying from them fairly quickly. Looks like I'm pulling the trigger on the Sunset $1,300 option. Road trip to Portland in my future!

I like the baseball bat part because i think the director deserves to get hit for that video.

I believe that you'll also need some small gaskets and fitting parts. You might want to pick them up at the same time.

BTW, regarding Sunset. They have the "15% over their cost" pricing only for customers outside the state. You might want to double check if you are getting that pricing and pickup is an option in conjunction with it.

Yup. Pretty sure those prices do not apply to walk-in customers.

Well, if it's bought via phone from out of state and then just picked up locally to save shipping... I'd just ask them to make sure the'll be cool with it. And I don't think there's sales tax locally, right? Otherwise they are obliged to charge it if it's a local pickup even if the payment was made from out of state.

Why are you getting rid of yours? It's so nice and clean without the bumperettes. If you will be selling it once off the car.... I could be interested.
