Front Bumper?

[Egst]

I have a 95 eclipse and want a 97-99 front bumper, now i know this may be a stupid question but is this actually a front bumper or a cover for the actual bumper?

It's the actual bumper, it's just called a "bumper cover."

thank you

its the same thing (technically) a bumper is the cushioning part of the car protecting it in a accident, the cover is what covers the bumper. usually people just call the front and rear of cars bumpers because the typical truck didnt have a cover just a bumper

Is stuff really this cheap now-a-days?!

RockAuto Parts Catalog Has them for cheaper, but then add shipping and you might have around the same price..

Correct me if Im wrong but isnt there some sort of preperation before you paint these bumpers versus true oem ones?

Use Bulldog, it't an adhesion promoter for new bumpers and plastic trim. If you dont your bumper paint might peel or crack with time. This product gives the primer and paint some flexability. Good luck

Great tip, thanks! The bumpers are bad for the paint cracking over time...I'll remember this next paint time

There is a flex additive or flex agent that should be added to the paint before spraying. Whatever brand of paint you go with should carry it.

I'm also looking for the 2gb bumper and saw that and it's like 40 bucks on that site, so I was like sweet! Went to check out shipping..

350 dollars to ship to Alaska..
So that 40 bucks turned into 380

I hate how people rip you off with shipping. I ordered a kit from cali to georgia, I requested greyhound shipping. Only 80 bucks to ship a rear bumper and sideskirts. Came all wrapped up and no damage. Only difference is I had to pick it up from the greyhound station.

I ordered a new 2Gb Talon bumper from JNZ and shipping was like $250. Rip off IMO.
