[DMCForum] Re: Lit Bumper (Farrar)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bad news Farrar: you don't replace just the black "bumper" portion
(use the word "bumper" loosely -- behind it is nothing more than foam
rubber). Whole back end of the car is one giant piece of plastic.

We really need to get a DeLo in your hands to play with. Would you be
willing to consider a fixer upper? I disagree with the Rule Of 20.
Have $11,000 in mine ($900 of which is a replacement engine). Doesn't
look like much, but runs reliably and well. Surely I could get a whole
new interior and even a replacement door (dent is too low to pound)
for $4,000, and still come out 25% lower.
