Default Bumper Bargin - Oh boy!

Bought a tru-flex front bumper for $200 already painted the right color. I was expecting to pay $250-ish and another $300 to have it painted and mounted. Now, I think I'll try to do it myself. I like getting a bargain.

Broughton Auto of Dubuque, IA is a vette shop near my home. He bought this one at a swap meet. The bumper must be used but it looks like it's never been mounted. He had it in with his other stock bumpers. Just dumb luck that it was the same color as my car. Plus, since it was painted, he actually discounted it. We both presumed it would not match.
