    Question Bumper, get it New or Used?

    ok, here's the thing. i want to get a new front bumper cover for the 3gee. mine is a little ratty and it would be worth it for the looks to get a better looking one. the junk yard with a few to choose from wants $85 for one. my choice of course. they have 1 integra bumper i can get, same color as my 3gee. then here's the bitch, i can get a new primered bumper covers for about $60, probley $90 i'll guess with shipping. i dunno, i think i might as well get a new one eh? i'm gonna have to spray color to match my car on the junk yard one. i'll probley end up having to do a little body filler or something to get it lookin good. so i'm kinda wondering what i should do. the junk yard i would always go to moved, so i need to find it agian. anyone know where i can get a bumper cover primered for less than $60 with out shipping included?

    i can get brand new bumper covers unpainted for like 45 bucks at a shop here in town. You might wanna look around and see what kind of deals you can get. Most body shops can get pretty good prices and are sometimes willing to sell stuff to you at a discount.

    if i can find the place i had been going to, i'll probley get a better deal than $85 for the bumper cover. they moved to some other location. i went by the old spot and there's no cars left there. i ought to go see what the place here closer to where i live has. they are the ones than hooked me up with the pair of prelude seats for $25 and other stuff. i have a pic of 3 or 4 of these type of accord bumpers (88-89), and this type of integra bumper.the teg bumper is the same color as my car and i cant get it for much less than $110 new.

    so, y'all have no suggestions again. anyway, i'm still wanting to go get that integra bumper. i've never seen this '89 bumper made to fit the 3gee, only the 86-88 bumper with the similar lights as the 3gee had. i dunno, $85 seems like a shitty price. maybe i'll offer him like $45 cash and see how it goes? i just think that bumper would look nice on my car. i believe it still had the lip on there, i'll maybe see tomorrow or friday.
