43022, 99 front end conversion, what did everyone pay?
Posted by develitate, Mar-19-03 08:59 PM
I know im going to need the front bumper, 97-99 headlights, and 97-99 foglights. What did everyone pay to get their front bumper painted and get it put on? I have a 95 kona blue eclipse, so I cant just buy a used front bumper that is the same color as my car.

bumper-since you cant get one that already matches your color.. i would say 100-150bux for a used bumper in good shape.. or you can find them on ebay new and unpainted for liek 160ish
headlights-about 125-200 used in good condition, or about the same for new projectors
fogs-about 50 in good condition
as for the painting, i would imagine for a quality job, around 200-300bux

I always get mine for free because some moron always runs into my car.

they didnt make kona blue in 97-99 so he cant get one his color.
heres what i paid
front bumper 215 plus 35 shipping
headlights 150 shipped
paint 200
just put it on yourself, its rather easy
paint will be more if you buy a used bumper because they have to prep it more and take the old paint off. probably around 300

allright thanks guys, also do you think i should get OEM headlights or projectors? I like how projectors look, but Ive heard they suck compared to the factory headlights.

I have the black projectors with the sing projector in it. not sure what brand, but off ebay. It is a pain to install, because i had to put certain bolts on (the ones in the back) first to get the others to line up right. and on one, the top bracket broke off, but that was my fault. otherwise, they were great. i got some h1 and h3 xenon bulbs, stuffed'em in there, aligned them and they are fine with me. even if my lowbeams shine out farther than my highbeams because i havn't figured out how to adjust them yet :) i think they look phat.
