View Full Version : My Brand New Fascia Painted Bumpers!
Andrew
06-08-2009, 08:38 AM
I got so sick and tired of the plain/textured gray bumpers on my 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo.
I've done alot of mods on my jeep, but this here will make your jeep look so so so much newer and better than before!
I got the Rear Bumper on today so far.
Tomorrow I put on the Front Bumper.
My next project is to order the side mouldings and get it painted by the same guy from Ebay. He did an excellent job. :)
Heres night shots, and some picture shots of the bumper in the garage with some light so you can see the color.
Also A shot of my gauges in the dark!
Enjoy!

Andrew, you need 5 posts to get full priveleges. Keeps some of the trolls and spammers away. I loooked and you now have 6, so you should be good to go.
Glad you got here and what a freaking difference with the body color bumpers and trim. NIGHT AND DAY!

eBay is your friend! ^^
Painting the plastic trim is one of the best mods for the money IMO. Look great!
Andrew

I still go thru the same guy on ebay to do my Fender Moldings.
I took my rear Fender Moldings, and bought limited versions of the Front Fender Moldings, and shipped them off to him to get them painted. FOR FREE. All I pay for is the shipping.
You can't get any better deals than that.
Heres the link to get the Front and Rear Fascia Bumpers, PAINTED(MATCH) to your Jeep's color is included in the price. FREE SHIPPING.
Best offer I've seen yet.
LINK for the Front Fascia bumper is HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370146893734).
LINK for the Rear Fascia bumper is HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370146897371).

Because...they think you're gonna go off road...and textured plastic doesn't get messed up as easy as some nice shiny paint... :rolleyes: LOL!

Off road? What's that? Haha, ya ya, it's for the bushes, but that one thing that drives me nuts is when you see a nice Overland or Limited all covered in mud and stuff

I like the way mine looks with the plastic bumpers but I want the limited trims and bumpers so I can do something a little custom.

instead of the g class I think I'd rather put a V12 in the jeep and have the ultimate 2WD jeep.

I had no idea that you did!
I'm just now getting my fender moldings shipped to me now. :)
He will do on the side jobs as well if you need anything painted.
He does really good work. You will be impressed.
I love Free Shipping, and Free Paint Jobs. ha.
By the way, that coaster will shake you up till your bones detach from your body. lol.
It hurts like hell, but damn it tickles my tummy haha.
I had a girl looking back at me cause I was like the only one yelling.

06-16-2009, 03:11 PM
nice, i cant wait.. how long did yours take (bumpers) from order time to at your door?
i hate costers like that that shake your head off.. the one at six flags called the boss is like that.. gives you a head ache.. aha
Andrew
06-16-2009, 03:43 PM
It took me 2 weeks. But It's totally worth it man!
Did you let him know what VIN Color code you needed?

Looks great. i hate those gray plastic bumpers. But if i found a dog on my hood or any animal, it would become airborne very fast.

Well everyone, I finally got the Fender Moldings put on.
Took forever, but it's all going to be worth it near the end.
I'm getting one step closer everytime.
I now need the 4 molding doors to be painted.
I ship off the 2 rear door moldings this friday! YAY! :)
I will get pictures up this week! Been busy!
