What should I do?

[GT400SC]

So, another member here has a used (but slightly damaged) urethane front bumper fascia from a late model ROUSH. Hit dinged a pole and his insurance is replacing the bumper cover. It is entirely fixable with no permnent damage. Mostly scrapes. I can buy the Roush bumper from him for an unspecified amount. I could tell you the amount but it's a private deal between him and me.

Anyway, I could put it on my car (perfect fit) or, I could spend a few hours and $50 on it, bring it back to excellent condition and sell it for TWICE what I paid for it.

What would you do? I don't really NEED the bumper since my stock one is perfect, but I was wondering...Do I swap out bumpers or make a fast buck?

If I can double my money, I'd have more MOD money! LOL

post a pic of a roush bumper. Could you photo shop it to see how it looks on yours?

Flip it!!!!!!! My 2 cents...

My bumper....

keep yours and score the bank

i like the one one your car now. I'd say flip it, unless you just prefer the rouse. Then use the rouse and sell yours to break even.

Your the one that has to look at the car. If you like it put it on the car. If you need the money sell it. Or hold on to it until you make up your mind.

bank that money ur looks good

So far, it seems like a NO BRAINER, take the money and run! LOL

Selling it for double or more than what I paid would go a long way to paying for mods I want to do. Maybe a smaller SC pulley (more boost) and a custom tune instead of the tune Whipple ships out with the supercharger. Or...I could put it toward an intercooler kit and go all out!

In any event, it sounds like the majority says that flipping it to make MORE dinero is the right call.

Your bumper looks better.

 

[mustanghurt]

im tellin you go for the money

I would spend the 50 bucks either way... if you like it after it is cleaned up and installed keep it... if you dont like it, it is now fixed and easier to sell... make up your mind after the 50 bucks has been spent

 

[GT400SC]

Hmmmm....mighty big sig photo you got there.

 

[GT400SC]

Interesting results.

Except for a couple who say decide after I fix it or at least try it on my car, everyone says go for the money!
