It's not polyurethane, so it will be prone to cracking. But other than that it is pure sex.

It's a highly sought-after part, so whatever they ask for is the price.

It's made out of fiberglass which is more vulnerable to cracking. Unlike polyurethane which would flex and just scrape if you hit something such as a parking block, this would just break off.

But it's definitely the sexiest front end you can get on the '99-'01 TL.

put a clear bra on the value front bumper - it will at least provide some protection from rock chips

i believe you will need to modify the bumper a bit to get it to fit our TLs. The Inspire bumpers are a little wider i think.

You may be thinking of the mugen front bumper which is an add-on. The value bumper is a complete replacement.

Nope, only available for us 99-01 TLers. Besides, your front looks 100x better anyway as is.

Yea, it's a lot of $$$ but it is worth every penny to me.

Downside is that it is made out of fiberglass. It will crack if you hit it hard enough. Just got to be careful driving around especially with rims and a drop.
