Rear RonJon Bumper Rebirth

Happened upon a bad condition RonJon bumper at the junkyard in March 2020.

The trunk mounting tab broke off, multiple rips in the fender well mounting area, spider webbing paint, lots of scuffs.

Had a paint shop said they'd paint it but they ultimately sat on their hands for 8 months. Luckily my friend got back into painting and took it off my hands.

I had to trim the exhaust cut outs.

Before:





After












Front of the car for those curious
I havent updated my member ride page in a while, but will eventually lol.


Got seal of approval from RonJon on instagram

Bumper is hefty at about 15lbs I guess but it is some thick urethane that is tough. Takes about 2 ppl to install since you need to remove the crash bar plastic cover and all the mounting tabs along the quarter panel and bottom mudflap area.

It mounts with 4 bolts on each side and a big washer, it also integrates the bottom bumper clips and retains the bumper machine screw at the quarter panel edge.

Oh shit! RJ seal of approval. I didn't even stop to think if he had an Instagram. The RJ name has been essentially dead.

As mentioned before. Glad you decided to keep and revive the bumper. Such a rare piece and you managed to make it look great on the car.

Not a fan of the rear bumper, but the overall TL looks awesome. Cool to see you got the approval from RJ.
