Some lowlife stole my bumper off my 89. So I have a few questions to ask please.

1. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE MY BUMPER IS?
( LOL sorry, But I had to ask)

2. Can you still get a new one from GM and if so how much?
( I only ask because a Detective will not work the case
unless it has felony value)

3. Where can I get a used bumper cover?

4. Does anyone want to buy my 2 Allantes?

sorry to hear that .. I have seen stolen grills and tail lights, but the bumper is a 1st.
only the cover? they left the aluminum under frame?

give us details, where was it stolen, what color?

was it the original bumper? many Allantes have the VIN on the inside of the body parts.

keep checking on ebay and craigslist to see if someone tries to sell it.

check your messages ...

cover only

and I guess it was OEM.

It won't let me PM. I typed a message and it said I don't have nuff post count or something.

Bumper covers are easy to find used. Check with Allantesource for prices. I replaced mine a few years back for about $250 then another $200 to paint it.

My contact info is in my signature and MY profile .. shoot me the info on the two Allantes ?

At any case, there are bumper covers out there that are not perfect for little money.
Allantesource does sell covers, ALL of them REFURBISHED.

BTW, I have lost so many bumper covers (parking lot encounters) that I have also resorted to the FSM repair procedures to refurbish them.

Since my cars are BLACK, I keep a can of plastic primer paint ($7) and gallon of Super Jet BLACK Acrylic Lacquer ($85) to keep them looking decent.
I also sprayed the soft top covers with the Super Jet Black, to match the car, and it looks good.
One of the rear bumper now got scraped, no breakage, but a coat of paint is needed.

A brand new front bumper cover costs $1800 plus shipping. It is no longer available from GM, but we still have a couple left.

Anybody ever use this type of item from this seller ? The name "thedon" sound vaguely familiar but I can not remember why?

seller has a similar name, wrong State, wrong phone # .. different guy.

two years ago, someone got hold of the mold and made around 100 fiberglass units, probably for the insurance biz. i dont know of anyone that has bought one knowing it was fiberglass and I'm not sure most folks with a damaged car would care about the material.

originals were not fiberglass.

wouldn't fiberglass be an upgrade from the flimsy plastic?

that "flimsy plastic", XELOY I believe, bends and takes abuse much better than brittle fiberglass.

also they meet Fed crash Standards, fiberglass does not.

Point proven haha

Well, I don't need a cover anymore because Hurricain Gustav came and delivered its wrath and the car took a few inches of water in the floorboards so its gone to the wrecking yard.

Ouch...hope you had enough insurance to possibly pick up a new one!

Jeez! :gg:

Still might be literally $xxxx worth of parts that might be salvageable for our cars needing parts.

Ugh! That explains the incentive for some low life to steal...I guess... what goes around comes around....

It's time to pull off our bumper skins and replace it with thick piece of boxed in steel channel. I did see someone use a bumper skin from another make on their Allante. It seemed to fit pretty well but it did change the look.

they can be repaired.

to my surprise, about a year ago i saw the procedure in the FSM itself and works pretty well. weekend job.

if you deliver the bumper to a body shop, they will paint it for about $100.
take off all the trim before the paint.
