A local guy here said he would trade me his white fiberglass blitz bumper for my stock bumper and $40...he has only had it for less then 4 months...would you trade...is that an even trade? What do you think/

Well.....there is an upside and a downside.

+'s:

-Aftermarket front ends are pimp no matter what kind it is
-Its already painted
-You know it fits right
-Direct bolt on
-You don't really have to pay anything
-You are getting paid to put a blitz bumper on your car and don't have to worry about selling your old bumper

-'s:

-You will now be the owner of THE most widely owned eclipse aftermarket front there is
-The stock fronts are already perty and look aftermarket with simple mesh installed
-There seem to be less stock bumpers on eclipse's then blitz bumpers ;)

I would do it if it is indeed in good shape. All personal preferance though.

>-There seem to be less stock bumpers on eclipse's then blitz bumpers

Blitz bumpers are played out online and at car shows. But around the streets, I still like certain cars I see with common kits.

One thing to look out for. Make sure the white blitz bumper actually fits good. Even though it's painted, that doesn't mean it doesn't fit good. I would leave your stock bumper on unless you plan to get a full kit, but that's just my opinion. My car is missing a body kit front.

Its jus nice for me to see a nice clean car. There are alot of *gulp* nice civics *gasp* around here. Nice, clean, kitted out Civics. Its funny though, around here all the civics are nice and all the eclipse's n other nice cars are generally done in poor taste. I love goin down the road and seeing a sweet ass, clean, kitted out car that is done in great taste, no matter what kit it is. If it looks nice, then it looks nice.

dont forget the urethane vs. fiberglass aspect....

I decided not to do it, cuz the part under the headlight is sagging and its cracked a lil bit...so Nah Im not doing it.Thanx neways guys
