It sounds like $600 for side skirts and both bumpers. Yes it's a good deal, but you need to find someone who wants them. Probably have to sell them individually.

Yup - $600 for the front bumper + fogs, rear bumper, and side skirts.

Also, I'm the buyer Mine are shot, wondering if this is a good deal.

[Fundguy1]

Yes. That's the price for a bumper oem. as long as they're in good shape.

I just got an estimate 2 weeks ago. Replace front and rear bumper covers, a few hours labor on the skirts currently on the car to fill/sand/prep, and painting all of the above...$3,000. This is one of the better paint and body shops in the area reputation-wise but still, I'd run not walk if I could find all 4 pieces in mint SGM for $600.

WITH THAT SAID, be 100% sure of the parts and more importantly, the paint work. My current ordeal started because the previous owner got me with an improperly completed respray, after a couple months I could just look at my front bumper a certain way and make some paint chip/peel off. Lesson learned.

Thanks guys.

Ajaye, couldn't you go back to the shop that did that shoddy work? Wouldn't that be under warranty?

Unfortunately it was done by the previous owner of the car before they sold it to me, private owner and purchased as-is, so short of calling her and asking who the half-retard she had do the paint was and if there was a transferable warranty, I can't do anything.

Karma is a bitch, though. She sold me the car and picked up a brand new 2015 3 series the next day. That very day 4 hours later it was smashed by the son, 10's of thousands in damage. No one was hurt so I don't feel bad.
