SIMPLIFIED custom bumper group buy
 
1 Attachment(s)
ok....we've been trying to coordinate the group buy for the new "Custom Smoothie" bumpers and we want to make this easier for everyone and for everyone to not worry about the "Count"

From NOW through Christmas Day- IF YOU BUY JUST A CUSTOM SMOOTHIE BUMPER (CHROME OR PAINTED) IT WILL SHIP FREE IN THE LOWER 48 STATES!!

for those who have already bought them we will start shipping them immediately!

How this works: just go the web links and buy the bumper. Your credit card WILL be "Authorized" the amount of the bumper and the freight charges. When we SHIP the bumper the freight charges will be removed and never charged to your card.

You can buy the chrome here for $299.00: http://www.topbananaparts.com/servle...MOOTHIE/Detail

Or the paint to match version for $259.00 here: http://www.topbananaparts.com/servle...MOOTHIE/Detail

Thanks in advance and I hope this makes it easier for everyone!

Merry Christmas!

How about a 73-87 bumper. Specifically 81-87. Are those out yet and if not do you have a tentative date when they will be. Thanks

That's great! don't forget pics when it's on.

Couple notes from our fitting: We used painters tape to hold the bolts during fitting then removed it after the bumper was on; this was very effective. the second thing we found is that the tightening sequence can alter the way it looks. Don't just torque down the first bolt you get in. Snug everything and step back and look at it. Have freinds help hold/adjust it to where it looks correct and tighten from the outside in. It only took us 10-15 minutes to install for the shot you see above and the other that's been posted.

Do these have a place to mount a license plate on them, in TX we have to have plates on the front?

Hey Top Banana, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I was wondering if the rear bumpers are going to have a space for a license plate or if they will be all nice and smooth?

we may actually be able to do something with the step rear that doesn't require completely new tooling

it's glue.........but it's REALLY GOOD glue. J/K. Still waiting for our final patent number so I'd prefer not to; I can tell you that it's very secure

Re: SIMPLIFIED custom bumper group buy
 
that interesting, i am interested in the bumper and would like to see it when you can. i just have been burned to many times to buy something without seeing the full view of it. it looks really good on the surface and installed. thanks daniel

Just an FYI. If you register it as a Antique truck you will only get one plate and it goes on the rear . No front when it is an Antique.

Ordered yesterday, but just noticed what it said about
using a CC. I don't use CC's and used Paypal to pay for
it. How are you going credit shipping charges on that?

The invoice to actually capture funding is reduced before capture. If there's an issue we'll just refund through PAYPAL

Mine was to, but I looked at my billing and they credited me my shipping before the bumper was charged.

The paper that's used as a packing slip does always show the freight charges. It's printed before funds are actually captured. The freight charges are deducted before the bill is submitted for capture. I know one was mistakedly charged but refunded after the fact.
