Default BUMPER TRADE? is this a good deal on my part? (P I C S)

ok so, this guy with an authentic 02-04 cwest N1 type II bumper (authentic) with carbon fiber canards (authentic) for my stock front bumper plus 100 dollars.

he is selling b/c he doesnt want to damage it any more, he lives in new york city.

only drawback is that it will eventually need new paint, a small crack in the fiberglass, nothing big:








up close pics of damage:






FOR: my bumper/lip +$ 100

thanks for the advice guys-

I backed out of the deal, and they guy went nuts..lol he was telling me I was uneducated to how rare and expensive the bumper is (I guess thats why so many people are dying to buy it lol)

I guess, no matter how much an aftermarket bumper could be worth.. stock is worth the most when it comes time to sell it (which is what he is going to do)

I don't like either but I'd take the stock over the aftermarket even if it was a straight trade.

It's also because the OEM one looks a hell of a lot better AND you would have to go and repair that bumper if you were to get it.

I would definitely do it. That crack is an easy fix, doesnt look like it went all the way through.

Don't do it.

Your oem bumper is worth more than that POS C-west bumoer....that fat crack is a complete garbage.
