I need the bumper beams off a 98-01 2.5 RS. Anyone got some lying around? Alternately, anyone have any junkyad tips for finding these?
good luck finding an RS at a junk yard. i know 95lwrx was selling a rs bumper but it had the smaller fog holes. you might try this placehttp://www.find-a-part.com/parts_location_quick.asp just put in what you want and ppl that have it will email you. works pretty good, and is very fast.
there is some chippe paint on the bumper, the bumped beam itself took a 5mph impact, so the adjuster is probably going to recommend replacing it, and i'm going to do so anyways when converting it to TMIC. The grille is cracked as well, the foglights don't look like theyre in there too good either. The ligts on the right side are slightly out of position and the hood is bent. all in all its going to cost the gu a lot i bet. I have full coverage and the guy who hit me admitted full fault. I'm taking the car in tomorrow for his insurance company to evaluate and hopefully they'll be willing to write out a check and i can get it done at a local bodyshop, and convert it to TMIC and replace the bumper beam all at the same time.
ouch sorry to hear about the accident. sounds like the guy was cool about it, he admitted full fault and didnt pin it and run away. good luck
