Opinion on aftermarket front bumper cover.

[hec332]

I' m thinking of changing my front bumber cover. The one that I have has been repainted numerous times and has a light crack on the left foglight area. My body guy told me it will be cheaper to get a new bumper cover than repair the old one.I don't even know if it's the original one? What do you guy's think.And where should I buy it from?
Thanks,
Hector

Only one place has new covers. That is SVP. evidentally your body guy doesnt know what an svo is, or he would be trying to save that one since they are a pain to get used in any beter condition. I would check with Paul and see what lead times are before you go nuts.

50 resto has them also, but I don't know if they are OEM........I doubt it.

Paul is good people, so give him a shout at http://www.svpu.com/ before you turn towards 50resto..

The bumper covers are reproduced by Daniel Carpenter from the original mold. They do not sell them direct to the public but through people like Paul. I'm using one on my 7B resto which was also some of the first batch. It even has the Ford part number and date / time stampings on the inside. It is a very nice piece and is ready for primer out of the box. Here it is :

Was this car in NY at one time?

[Ken Potter]

Gotta love those 9Ls. Might have to get me one someday. At least it didn't get your outer passenger marker light. Here is the cover with fresh paint ( yes another shameless plug for my 7B HAHA ).

I thought I recognized the car. i saw the car right before it was sold man it was nice then. His new AWD xr4ti is every bit as nice and super rare.

Well good luck.

Yeah, I have talked to every once and I while we keep in touch. Yeah the svo was looking real clean till the bumper damage.
Thanks I need it.

By the way Ken the svo is coming along great from the pic you posted. I love the color.
Good Luck
