So I called a couple junkyards, and closest 2005-2006 front bumper was in Alberta, they wanted 500$+ 250 shipping.

Just for kicks, I called Hyundai to compare prices, they throw out 225$+tax CANADIAN for the bumper and 250$ for the 07, to bad it looks like ass.


I think I got a pretty good deal.... wink1.gif

wait, so your putting the older 05-06 version on your RD?

i think that would be vastly considered a downgrade from even the stock RD bumper

A down grade? How do you figure? It's one of the nicest bumpers I've ever seen for us also better quality than any fiberglass rice bumper around.


I couldn't believe it either when they told me the price.... The junk yards want 400+250 shipping, theres nothing local or remotely close. It's a hard piece to find because even the 03-04's want them. I called the dealer in Michigan and he quoted me 407$, and here it's 250Canadian with tax and all.

I also enjoy the fact that its not painted, so I don't have to spend time sanding it down + plus its brand new.
