Subject:Re: '90 Front Fiberglas Bumper - HELP!!!
From:Ken Wilford
Date:Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:08:35 -0400

Sorry for writing a confusing post.  I have a primer grey bumper that I
want $500 for.  That is the one that has been cleaned up and repaired by
a body man.  The other one is a silver GL front bumper that may have
some small cracks in it and it has original paint on it that would be
faded a bit.  I would like $300 for that one.  I am located in Southern
New Jersey.  It would be nice to have it picked up, but I can ship it
($$$) if you need me to.
