Default Score: Euro Turbo bumper!

My nightly scowering of nation wide Craigslists has paid off! Just scored a Euro Turbo bumper off of CL in matching black paint for $120 . Unfortunately shipping coast to coast was $300. However, I am happy with $420 as my current set up (stock plus RS splitters) has taken a highway beating and needed a repaint/refit anyways. No more bumperettes! Off to more bargain hunting!

Regards,

Kevin

Digging around pays off. I just bought a RSD (Rear Seat Delete) for $225.00 shipped. Found on Craigslist as well.

You should have the bumper shipped via Greyhound. Should be much cheaper than $300.00. I've had good results with them shipping large items.

I was stretching it with the seller already. I didn't want to have him put through much. UPS was the easiest option, didn't want him to pull out because it was too much of a hassle. Funniest thing is that he said if I was local I could have taken if for $80!

Please let me know if your Nile13 does not pan out on your existing bumper... I am in the market for a stock bumper and/or RS splitters as well... Bumperetts and all....

Also.. I indavertenly purchased a GT2 splitter for a turbo bumper instead of standard bumper that I now need to get rid of... I only paid $200 for it and its black, if you are interested let me know and Ill provide the details...

I think that the craigslist servers are crashing from all of us looking for euro turbo bumpers after reading this.

I got lucky. I found mine in an obscure section on ebay. Found out it was local, drove over to West Seattle and picked it up!!

Is that GT2 splitter the original one or aftermarket? If original can you tell me the condition it is in?

Cheers.

They are aftermarket... Stock GT2 splitters fit into a standard narrowbody bumper (just like the RS ones). This is a one piece unit that fits onto a turbo bumper.
