    [WTS] Slightly damaged bumper for Optima SX Satin Metal...make an offer

    I have recently had my bumper replaced, and the body shop let me take my old bumper. It is Satin Metal Color, and was scraped on the driver's side. It is possible to repaint, but the body shop replaced it since some of the support clips inside used to mount broke. With that said, this is best for someone very skilled or perhaps someone trying to experiment with a new mod and needs a test bumper to hack. Either way, just make me an offer. I assume the biggest portion of cost will be shipping. I am in the Albany, NY area if anyone wants to pick it up.

    I will provide pics ASAP, maybe tomorrow.

    Use Greyhound for shipping. About $70 to anywhere. Would be $500+ any other method.

    Are you serious? I know that the bus lines ship things in Mexico, but didn't know greyhound would! OK, so if this is for real and greyhound does ship, then there you have it

    They said that when the front driver's side got bumped and scuffed, that it put a crack in the passenger side mount. It is physically possible but so unlikely it seems. The crack was right where you pull on to free bumper, and then they were like, oh well it cracked worse when we pulled it off. BS. This is good/bad. If they hadn't done this, they would have buffed/painted my original bumper. Since they did this they got a new one and paint matched it with a computer and dealer codes to get it right. So I am happy I have a totally new bumper, but since they broke the other one I had to wait a week for the part to come in and get painted. They also broke the little fake air vent on the fender removing that lol, again, must have been the collision lol. Anyhow, got all my stuff fixed, but sorry, nothing but busted parts here. If anyone wants a driver's side fender vent missing one mount...it's yours!
