I think it does too, plus it was cheaper than the OEM Limited bumper. Also, it makes my Limited even more limited since there probably aren't many Blaze Red Limiteds with an SRT bumper.

Please post pics when you're done... I've only seen one other blaze red coupe with the SRT bumper and it was sick!

Gator, did you buy the bumper from someone locally or from the internet. For $575 I would order one to replace my badly pitted original. I just got my new perfect headlights. $200 for the pair.
Now I just need the fog lights. And the nose job will be done.

Online, the guy was selling it on eBay but my dad called the phone number on the auction and got it for $25 less. Now I don't know how many they have but here's the number to call, but they could get you one (704) 263-1411.

I'll know how the paint is in probably 2 weeks when it arrives, but it could be quick since it's going out of NC and I'm in FL.

They have a bunch of other bumpers as well (XLR, Evo, etc) and their rep is 99.8% out of 628 so people are happy with their work.

There's a few standard bumpers on eBay non-painted.

Ok, I hit a parking block a few weeks ago.
I decided to go with the srt bumper since it is cheaper.
I got it from metro chrysler, took 4 days for them to drop it off at my shop, not bad.
My jobber price was $192.50 no tax.
$80 for a pint of base coat and some sealer and clear and tada...New srt bumper!

Tracking my DHL shipment and the bumper should be arriving tomorrow, so I'll have it done tomorrow depending on when it arrives and how much light I have.

Also, does anyone know of the Torx numbers I'll need for the conversion. I could just buy one of those multi pack ones but it's always nice to know what materials I'll need so I don't have to waste time going to the auto shop.

It's going to be a nice, warm, partly cloudy 77 tomorrow so I'll be able to install.

Well DHL decided to wait until Monday to deliver my bumper so me being impatient I went to go pick it up. At first I was a little nervous after seeing the underside of bumper (where the SRT valance is) since it didn't look complete, but that's going to get messed with rock chips anyway and the only way you'll see it is if you get on the ground and I don't plan on putting this car in shows so it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the paint looks awesome. There will probably be a little color disparity until the sun hits the paint to have it mesh with the 2 year old paint but nevertheless it was a quality job and I even got it off an eBay auction! Price was $575 shipped (if you wanted to know).

Here's the preliminary pics of the unwrapping, I'll be installing it tonight in my garage .

Had to take a break for dinner, need to switch out the guts of the bumper over to the new one and rebolt it back on.

I feel like I am there with you.

Do you want me to pass you the 10mm socket?


Any problems so far?

Well the job is finished and I must say it looks pretty freaking sweet now that I don't have to look at that damn gash anymore. The only problem I found was with the 2 screws that hold the middle part of the bumper on the car. You have to have a small ratchet, small hands and patience to get it off. I have a few battle scars from that piece because on the passenger side the tow hook is in the way but the driver side is a cinch, plus there's some plastic engine molding you need to pry out to get the ratchet in.

Other than that there were no real problems. Actually the most discouraging part was getting the OEM grille back on the car but I didn't want to rush it and everything turned out alright. I can give you a few more pointers or things to look for and techniques I used to get certain things off, but I'll shoot you a PM since it'll take some space.

Here's the pics...enjoy them, but I'll enjoy the car more since I get to look at it everyday. I'll take better pictures tomorrow once the car is washed and it's out in the daylight instead of the nighttime garage.

I just got done washing the car and taking pics outside. I'm making a CarDomain page with all the pics but here's my favorite one.

They are going to pick you apart at Barrett Jackson in 30 years for doing that to a Limited., but it looks awesome.

Color match looks great also.

Nice job.
