ChubaCabra Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Hey guys, I was recently envolved in a minor front end collision where my front bumper cracked in the center and my drivers side headlight is scratched. My body shop gave me an estimate of $1,470. My question is will the 97+ front bumper fit on a 93 sc300 with no major modifications? Any extra parts required like bumper beams? I was considering an aftermarket front bumper but I really haven't seen a full front bumper that looks decent for this car except maybe vertex but its too low for daily driving. Also, instead of replacing the headlight, I'm going to try to get some 97+ sideskirts and just sand and reseal the light myself(its not scratched too deep). Let me know what you guys think! Thanks, Ryan
jzz30 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 yup direct bolt on. but you need to get fogs because it looks better...
ChubaCabra Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 Thanks jzz30, I'm calling the body shop right now. You think the 97+ bumper will cost more than the 93?

ChubaCabra Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 Good info, thanks! They actually gave me an estimate of the 93 bumper cover for $384.41 so I'll be saving money!
jzz30 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 dont forget you need to buy the grill insert or it will look gheto..
ChubaCabra Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 UPDATE: I got the car back yesturday and was brutally suprised. The morons at the body shop ordered the 95-96 bumper apparently then they proceded to accuse me of being wrong! They were like, "this is the 97 front bumper, its what you ordered." I know for sure they are wrong because theres no grill and my turn signal lamps still fit. :chairshot: I know this is a stupid question and I know the answers no but is there some kind of "action package" or something, at least thats what they told me! Worst of all, they forgot to get my brand new drivers side headlight that was on the workorder. The paint job looks good at least lol. Anyways, think twice when you see a central auto body and all its pretty signs and custom painted cars out front. They SUCK!!
jzz30 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 you should tell them to do it over and get the right bumper!
Dere2000 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 I would of told them to keep my car and get me a rental and call me when they get the right bumper on there. They have no choice!!!!
