Cool..thnx for the side view. What did you pay to have yours installed and painted? So I know if these guys are giving me BS when I get to go pricing my install and labor. I know it may be cheaper in your area but I shouldnt get a estimate that is more than 100 bucks or so off unless you got a hook up from a friend. I have no hookups here and judging by what they tried to sell my 6th gen to me when I 1st walked into the dealer I am alittle suspicous. All in all I think I got a good deal on my 2005SE/2000Eclipse trade in with 48,000 miles that I was 5000 lopsided on and still walked out financing 30,000 with 1500 down at 5% thanx to a good credit report. But to start at 670.000 a month for 72mnths and getting down to 528 for 60mnths with 1500 down has to leave you alil suspicious of the people in the area. I got an install estimate today and it was 350 to 400 bucks which is what the bumper cost and they need 3 days to do it. Also does anyone know if the bumper is hardened rubber like the stock or is it plastic?

thnx.

I paid around $400, I had the 1st bumper out of the mold so it needed a bit more prep, I also had them install my fogs, which inlcuded cutting out the holes and finishing them nicely.
The bumper is fiberglass, and it is a bit stiffer than the stock one.

Very nice! But placing the foglights on the front bumper (a nonrigid structure)
means they're going to become improperly aimed very quickly. Glare from
improperly aimed foglights is very annoying (and common).

They are double bolted to the side pillar and it's pretty solid. We'll see what happens..
Plus there's no where else to really bolt them to the car, we tried believe me!
