Hey guys,
The deal on used bumpers from Germany is this, almost without exception they are badly rusted. The chrome may be good but the underside and mounting hardware will be rusted. This is due to the large amount of salt put on the roads there. So, this rust makes removal difficult and very time consuming and you get a crappy product. Shipping is another problem due to size restrictions. The only bumper set up I sold and sent to the states was to Rich Beaver in Houston. They were new for the dealer and ran around $1000. Believe me, you guys do NOT want to buy used bumpers from Germany. Its like installing a used head gasket.
