I have a stock US one, not sure what a fair price would be, but will start checking on it

I was going to trailer my car to Sebring for the weekend DE. My daughter was coming with me for the tire rack street survival school. I was trying to load the car on the trailer by myself.
Uhaul transporters have a system of straps that hold down the front wheels. These straps are secured aft by a steel bar. To secure the car, the front wheels must be between this bar and the front of the trailer.
The front of the trailer has an angled lip to keep you from driving off the front of the trailer. With the turbo front bumper and a lowered car, as the car comes down off the steel bar, the bumper comes down on top of the angled lip. This will break the bumper loose from the car. Then, when you back up a little, it will hook under the bumper and remove it from the car.
It's a lot easier than the front bumper removal instructions on pcar.com
However, it is a bit more expensive.

So, As I was loading it, it caught on the fronbt lip of the trailer.

Thanks to a great Rennlister 600RR, I now have a new NB front, with aerokit 1B splitters! It was even the right color!

Couple months ago... Di it on a whim after reading the "thinking about a wrap" thread. I'm going to keep it through track season and then probably pull it back off. I got the stuff at West Marine.

You've definitely made lemonade and by the looks of it it tastes great!

If interested I have a used in perfect condition turbo bumper cover with bumperette delete with fresh black paint. I bought it from a rennlist member two years ago and never put in on my car.

If you're dead heading back home from Signature @SFO I can bring it to you.
