Nice, I also have a se bumber and Im trying to swap it so I want to know did you do the swap yourself and if so how long did it take and was it hard to put on. Far as paint how much it cost.

Well, that's part of the problem... the swap is not hard... you need a new mounting bracket for the front bumper (you know the plastic push pins that hold it on? the holes above the chin spoiler don't line up with the current bracket). The back bumper you will need 2 small brackets for right behind the rear wheels, to mount to the frame. Mine didn't come with them, and I'm still trying to locate some. No luck though.

Paint will be approx. $200 per bumper (very approximate, quotes Ive gotten have ranged from $150-$500!!). Get color-matched if you can. Talk to Ed Morad, he'll hook you up, I paid $300 for both bumpers, shipped.

When you're ready to do the swap, PM me for more detail on the actual work. It's not as bad as it might look... hope that helps!

Yeah, the car still runs great, only time I have a problem is when its over 100* and the max A/C is on full blast! Other than that though, it's great considering the mileage! Who knows what I'll end up doing... I appreciate all of the insight though guys!
