I am most likely going to replace my MS rear with the stock rear bumper again.

How much has it cost to detach the old and attach a new bumper?

Thanks!!!

 

even better...how much does a completely new painted bumper cost + install

 

I'll bet there's someone on here who would swap bumpers with you for free - and do all the work.

 

I have a post in the Parts for Sale/Trade and West sections of the forum. I didn't know it was DIY.

 

$600-700+

 

Don't they have to cut into stuff to put on the MS rear?

 

^^ I think so but that's because (I think) the MS bumper is only the lower part that attaches to the original bumper.

You can save the trouble by finding someone with a stock bumper of the same color and just swaping the entire bumper.. or am I wrong?

I think it's just a couple of bolts and maybe some clips holding the whole thing on.

 

he wants to do a swap of a stock rear and a MS rear. ive done the front but is the rear diy?

 

Yep, rear bumper is easy. There's a DIY somewhere around here, but you could prob figure it out without it.

Duh on my part!

 

easy to do..save the 600 bucks.

 

ill take ur MS rear bumper off u if its black :D

 

yep its black hes looking to swap for a stock rear

 

get some gas money Mike and drive up the coast for the swap. Should take you guys about 2 hours to do the swap...just enough time to turn around and make it back to SoCal.
