Re: new bumper
Ive bought a few things from ECE (early classic) Found a few things to be a bit higher with them (too late) but great service!
LMC and just about any other company should carry bumpers.. your looking at about 150$ plus the ride

Re: new bumper
Since its back ordered, cancel the order and go with Mike's Bump and Grind. Just a thought.

Re: new bumper
I heard that if you cancel the order they will ship it and charge you for it anyway whenever it comes in?

Re: new bumper
Bumper and bolts came in today! Unfortunately it says MADE IN TAIWAN!!!
 Really????? I am sad...It looks really nice though. I lost a little of my soul when I bolted it up.
