MazterDizazter Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hey guys, I was thinking of selling the chrome bumpers on my '73. I guess they're euro bumpers because they don't have the plastic trim? I know at least the front one was NOS as it still has the Nissan label on the inside. The front has a small indent in the center from my engine crane but could probably be bent back. The rear has some oxidation from sitting. In other words, they're not concours-ready, but they're in really nice shape. What do you think they'd be worth, roughly? Here's the best pics I got currently: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'll give you 20 bucks for the front and 10 for the back since its oxidized. Lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It's hard to say. I sold a semi euro rear bumper in awesome shape for $102 on fleabay about 2 years ago, and the next week watch a similar, worse condition rear bumper go for over $200 and it wasn't euro at all. I'd say at a minimum $100 each. Why sell them? It looks great with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 If you fixed these and rechromed them you could probably get a bunch of money. There's a company that is making stainless repros and they list for like $1000.00(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a company that is making stainless repros and they list for like $1000.00(!) I noticed that, hehe, that's why I was kinda wondering.... I guess I'd have to get them refinished in order to ask for any decent amount.... I was just wondering if it would be enough to offset the cost of a set of carbon or even fiberglass bumpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I just bought an AWESOME tripple chromed, perfect, rear bumper for $400...non-euro. The chrome on it looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I was wondering how fiberglass or carbon fiber bumpers can even be called bumpers? Shouldn't they be called "crushers"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoWing Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Can you really call the stock ones bumpers? I mean other than maybe something there for when you're inching along, most any kind of impact will crush those too. I mean just about every one I've seen for sale on ebay lately all have dents in them. I bought a set of the fiberglass bumpers though. They seem nice. I ended up buying them because it was alot cheaper than what people were trying to get for a single "ok" condition front or rear bumper.

ShinyRedZ Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Those bumpers would look great on my car! It looks like you need at least 1 rear hatch strut, it not 2 struts. I will trade you a pair of rear hatch struts for a pair of bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazterDizazter Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Good for bumping small animals? Actually, my hatch strut works fine; the spot welds on the LH side of the hatch rusted out; ouch! Time to replace the weatherstripping as I'm guessing that's something the P.O. neglected to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'll probably be looking for a good 'euro' front bumper soon. Mine was in good shape until recently . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerbuccs24 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Okay this is a huge coincidence. This is your car This is my car: I've got an '88 MR2 Supercharged with Kosei K1's :lol::lol: Anyways, in a few months if these are still for sale I'd love to pick them up off of you.
