.:DDM Tuning - The Return of the $115 Shipped Bumper

[jsp98m3]

Ah, we love the "competition".

Everyone remember our $100.00 E36 M3 Bumpers with Integrated lips that shipped for $115.00?

Well, they're back in stock, have been for a while now. Have a look in the Benjamin Box. Our integrated lip bumpers are in-stock for $100 plus $15 shipping.

E36 M3 Bumper with Integrated Lip (http://www.ddmtuning.com/e36m3buinlip.html)

Or, if you want an exact replica with detachable lip so you can add the lip of your choice, we offer it for $124.95 plus shipping. Because the replica bumper is packaged differently, it generally is $200.00 shipped.

E36 M3 Replica Bumper with Removeable Lip (http://www.ddmtuning.com/e36bumpers.html)

Crystal or OEM fogs are our everyday low price of $30.00 per set for Apexcone Brand. DEPO Crystal Fogs are $30 more.



Don't be fooled by half hearted sales and sites that don't have the buying power to offer you the best deals. Never buy until you've price checked us. We have inventory and we always have the best pricing.

Jim

[StevE39]

you guys make me wish I had an E36 instead of an E39.

:(

any chance of you guys doing a similar promotion with E39 M5 style bumpers?

[woky]

Have these in an E30 fitment? :D

[The Man]

Hey Jim quick question

I can't seem to figure out how to hold the grill on the front of the bumper, for right now its super glued but that can easily come off. lmk what I should do?

Should there be clips?

[jsp98m3]

There should be clips. Run by the dealer and pick them up and call us with the bill. I'll paypal you the moola. Or we can get them and mail them to you. Your choice.

[The Man]

There should be clips. Run by the dealer and pick them up and call us with the bill. I'll paypal you the moola. Or we can get them and mail them to you. Your choice.

Might have to mail them because it might just be less than driving 30 miles to the dealer. If you want you can throw a free SSK in :D I'll pay for shipping then.

[jsp98m3]

The idea was that I wouldn't be out money for the box and packing for the shifters :)

We'll see. I seriously have no idea how many we have left. When they are gone, they are gone. If people report they are crap, ok. If they say they are good on this car or that one, good for them and the rest of them can be given to good homes.

Reports would have to be very good to have me looking to get more of them. We aren't in the shortshifter business. But I'll take anything as long as its free.

Jim

[The Man]

I'll send you guys my address tomorrow to the shops email. If you don't have any SSK's left then don't worry about it.

[ryanng2]

Jim,

I ordered the front bumper back in March, I haven't got a chance to install the bumper or analyze it until I read the post earlier and notice that I am also in need of the clip.

FRONT BUMPER:
Unique Transaction ID #58M374175L570882W <--- Paypal

Also, I recently order a Rear Bumper/HID kit from you last friday, I ordered by phone, and I just have an invoice number. Am i quailify for a short shifter?

Invoice: 061208-5

Could you please send me the CLIPS and possibility the Short Shifter? If not, can you just send me the Clips to hold the grill?

Thanks
Ryan

[thundercat]

Hey Jim

I was told the bumper is too big to be shipped to Canada

Can I just give you guys my FedEx Acc#?

And I just got the HIDs last night, if they are not shipped yet, can you throw them in the package too please?

[jsp98m3]

ryan and thundercat,

Yes, yes

Jim

[thundercat]

Thanks Jim

Just ordered the bumper, and the 35w HIDs

[thundercat]

DAMn, forgot to get the foglights
ill do that right now

[ryanng2]

ryan and thundercat,

Yes, yes

Jim

Should I e-mail you my address so you guys could send the clip and if applicable the shortshifter?

Thanks
Ryan

[vadim321go]

We have our ways, don't sweat it. Will call you guys if you are in Canada. Its painless and cheaper than expected.

Jim

[ryanng2]

Jim,

Could you send me the Clips to hold the grill of the front bumper ASAP? I'm planning to bring both bumpers to a shop and get it painted as soon as my rear bumper arrives.

I have also e-mail you ddm my address.

Thanks
Ryan

[vadim321go]

hey jim,

there are quite a few members on maxbimmer (canadian based and mostly in toronto) who would be interested in the bumpers. how much would it cost to ship to toronto?

[eLegg]

This is the best deal!

My bumper is getting painted right now and should be done by the end of this week at the latest!


It fits great also! Don't pass this up!:buttrock

PS: when I ordered mine it was at my house within a week!

[jsp98m3]

We have a new method to ship into Canada. Its affordable


And we have plenty of stock with more showing up today. Dont fear. We've shipped well over 1000 bumpers in the past 2-3 months and will ship 300 more this week.

We know what we're doing ;)

[exodus1500]

-marcus

[thundercat]

Hey Jim
When i called i forgot to ask for the short shifter
If you can please throw one in, that would be great thanks :)

[frost12850]

Hey Jim, I havent heard from ya yet about the pictures so Ill try calling, hopefully I can get through to you so we can get this resolved...

[frost12850]

Well I didnt have any luck haha, it sucks because I wanted to talk to you about a couple of other issues Ive been having with my headlights without getting caught up in this forum nonsense...but here we go.
First off, I wanted to mention that you guys have been helpful in some cases so Im not bashing the customer service, but I feel that Ive gotten a bad batch or something. Ive been having a ton of little problems since day one that Ive been shrugging off because they seemed miniscule to me. Ive had a few problems with my passenger headlight as well that I didnt really worry about because, well I didnt expect perfection for the deal I was getting. To start things off with the passenger headlight, I was having a b*tch of a time trying to get the harness to work... I called you guys up, they gave me advice. I tried it and didnt work, so they offered to send me a new harness and I said no problem, I took care of it, they said ok. When I said I took care of it I neglected to mention that I just straight up cut the harness and hardwired the wires myself into the headlight cap- turns out whoever assembled the light mixed the wires up inside because the wire sequence was off as far as the order they should be in for the PnP harness, on top of that, for some estranged reason, the distributor that I had to wire the wires into is loose now as if it is broken or something- Im a strong guy but I didnt know I can unknowingly break things haha- still not sure if its broke but whatever, the light works and everythings alright on that side I guess. Now the almighty pain in the a$$ drivers side. Well, as you know I havent been able to be getting this mother shut, and I still cant. The Pnp harness worked no problem for it :) haha BUT, for some reason the caps the protect the wires for both the projector and the high beam keep popping off... ugh I say to myself as I keep popping the bastard back into place only to find them popped out again next time I open my hoop. In addition, with all the removing and installing of the headlight from my car Ive been doing as I continually tried to get the headlight together after talking to you guys on the phone I finally ended up busting a corner light slider clip. Once again, Ive called you guys a couple of times trying to resolve this, theyve been helpful by giving me suggestions and asking some of the assemblers for advice which left me unsuccessful each time. Finally here we are and after getting off the phone with you guys I am going to be sending back this drivers light to see if you guys can get it to stay together. Im not asking for much because as I said I consider myself to be getting a killer deal and I dont expect these to be flawless, but please, send me a different drivers headlight, the one I have now and I arent becoming good friends these days. I can deal with the passenger light, we see more eye to eye. Im not sure but Im wondering if it could have been possible that maybe I got apexcone glass and a depo housing or something and thats why all this mess has occured?? Once again, Im sorry I had to bring this to the forum, for I wish I could PM you or something but you dont do those. O yea and one of my HID ballasts already went KAPOOF! haha but I spoke to you guys and were getting that taken care of...

[calypso bimmer]

Hello,

I ordered an item on your website on June 9th and have yet to receive an order confirmation or a tracking number. I have e-mailed DDM and have received one response stating i will get the tracking number when it is ready. How long does it take to pack an order? I have found another set somewhere else that I would like to order that can be shipped out right away, so I need to know if I should cancel my order if you can not ship it out soon. yhst-15912447027353-2603‏ is my order number.

[APXDDM-SD]

Hey John, Jim is giving you a call right now.
Frost12580 can you please shoot me your name and number so we can get this worked out for you. Thanks
-Marcus

[calypso bimmer]

DDM,

Thank you for the call, excellent service much appreciated!

[frost12850]

Sent you a PM Marcus, Thanks

[jsp98m3]

John,

I added the Coupe Sidemoldings to your order and put it all in one box so there's no extra shipping charge over the previous order.

Thank you, we'll have a tracking number for you in minutes.

Jim

[APXDDM-SD]

Matt, Thanks for the quick response.
Just got off the phone with ya, email return label should be waiting for you when you get a second to login to your email. Im very anxious to take a look at badboy.
-Marcus

[calypso bimmer]

Jim,

Can you sign me up for the wholesale club and apply it to my order?

Thanks

[jsp98m3]

Yes, but it has to get done tomorrow. Accounting has run off for the night.

Jim

[jsp98m3]

Paul is going to respond again to your bumper quote and tell you what the credit would be on there, plus the credit for the previous orders. Then we can give you a refund or take it off the bumper price. Sound ok?

Jim

[frost12850]

Thank you Marcus,

I was browsing in the lighting forum and noticed that we may have been confused on the passenger headlight issue with the projector casing... I think that you thought I was talking about the prongs in the pnp harness that were being held together with the glue... Ill take a picture for you and send it to make sure were all good with that one. Thanks again for calling me

[JunzieB]

Holy shit man, you guys are killing me:(. Just when i said i'm not going to spend any more money on my car this month you have me pondering this purchase:stickoutt

Shoot me a PM with shjipping info to Brampton, On, Canada if you have time.. If not I'll give you a call at my earliest opportunity:redspot

[jsp98m3]

[Pswirley]

Maybe I can talk Jim into a Socal loves the Celtics special tomorrow.


Way to go Beantown. Paul Pierce Jersey will be worn tomorrow to work and all around Socal in honor.

[jsp98m3]

I think tomorrow I will have time to work some goodness on Canada. Today was 'interesting'. Multiple containers showing up. Random frieght trucks for LCL cargo showing up all day. The contractors in putting in the new phone system without ever disrupting us. Although, I think the guy lingered under Sarah's desk a bit too often...

Then the website and marketing people were in too. My dog had dental work and a few other things. Yikes.

Give me a little while on the Boston thing. I think we can have some fun with this.

Jim

[bmuum3]

jsp98m3 just forgot to mention to add the SSK if there still there :)

[Pswirley]

jsp98m3 just forgot to mention to add the SSK if there still there :)

Shoot us a pm or give us a call tomorrow and we can get it added to your order.

I have a feeling Jim will be smiling at the truck full of freight that arrived today for the entire day tomorrow.:alright


-casey

[jsp98m3]

75+ bumpers shipped today. I won't have to be smiling long, the stuff is flying out.

Its the other container that I'm waiting for...

I am going to have SUCH good sales on other stuff. :evil2

[DoubleOh]

I'm another canadian looking at the m3 bumper.

Just how affordable is this new canadian shipping? :D

[jsp98m3]

Depends on where you are of course. PM us at APXDDM with your address and phone number, we'll get you an exact quote by several methods.

Jim

[mcw323is]

any chance there will ever be a crazy deal like this on the rear bumpers?

OT: but do I really have to wait til late June to get a new pair of headlights??? haha

[vadim321go]

iv tried pming, i was told 100. like i said lots of demand in toronto for these

[atlantisvip]

I'll be calling in today to pre pay my bumper and pick it up in a few days.. Do you guys have the M moldings for the doors ?

[RCR83]

Sent a PM for a shipping quote. Hope to be calling today

Thanks
Ryan

[espguitarist]

What happened to the M Molding thread? Why'd it get closed?

Btw, thanks again Casey for helping me out yesterday. I've just got to wait until I have the proper funds and I'll most likely be buying this stuff...just gimme a week.

And Jim, I saw a thread in another classifieds subsection that you were going to lower all of your prices down to your cost beginning in July or September? Not to be nosy or anything but would it benefit me at all to wait until then to buy all my stuff? I need my car fixed by August though...

[RCR83]

Sent in my order. Thanks Guys

Ryan

[frost12850]

Sent you another PM Marcus, thanks :)

[OBD1328]

why are rear bumpers more expensive then fronts!?

[APXDDM-SD]

why are rear bumpers more expensive then fronts!?We cant get as good of price from the factories because we do not move them as fast as the front bumpers
-Marcus

[marineifra]

ok...so i have spoken to casey, marcus, and paul on the phone, jim...call me. lets do lunch :)
seriously tho...your customer service has earned you a permanent customer. once i get my car out of the shop and see abt getting my ac fixed...and im seriously contemplating getting a chip from you instead of getting my ac fixed right now...i'll be ordering a few more things.

[JuM3]

hmmm, if bumpers are this cheap... why are the splitter more expensive.... consider lowering the prices?

[jsp98m3]

marineifra,

Mmmm. I think air conditioning is a priority. :)

We are trying our best to help the community. We are glad you recognize our efforts.

JuM3,

Its just a matter of volume. The bumper manufacturers have mold costs and they lower the prices fairly radically on some items that have had a long sales history at good volumes. For whatever reason, probably lower volume or a short sales history, some things just aren't sold at a relatively economical price.

We just have to take the deals we can get and press for even more as we can.

Jim

[lazed]

any chance there will ever be a crazy deal like this on the rear bumpers?


+1 went from long beach down there twice cause you guys are awsome!! give me a good deal on the rear and ill be there again! =D

We have some more sales to come up with tonight.

Jim

[frost12850]

Thanks Jim, its not a super big deal, just a question I had with doing my return

[ATF]

So I get a free bumper because I live in Boston right? Celtics won, right? :D

Damn this is tempting.. too bad I don't know how broken my A/C is... sorry :(

However +1 on the good experience. Hopped onboard for the DEPO Birthday Bash and got a free 55w upgrade when the 35w I ordered went out of stock. A+ in my book.

[calypso bimmer]

Do you guys have any installation instructions for the M3 sideskirts?

[jsp98m3]

See other thread.

[///Mposter]

I sent u an email :)

[Artform]

You gotta be kidding me... mine's coming Monday hopefully but damn I wish this came up a little sooner. :D

I just want to buy something. These prices are just insane. Do you have any other panels in mind Jim? CF vented hoods perhaps?

[jsp98m3]

Ummmm.

I'm seeing some confusion here guys...

You all remembered to join The DDM Wholesale Club (http://www.ddmtuning.com/ddmwhcl.html) didn't you???

I've been watching another thread with a little amusement. The pricing has been dropping like crazy and they still haven't gotten to our Wholesale Club price of $97.75 including shipping.

BimmerZealot "got it". He called late at the end of the day after he figured out who we were and came by and bought bumpers locally for $85.00 each with his FREE club membership.

I thought you guys were paying attention to this whole Club Membership thing. No?

$115 = $97.75 for Club Members. Etc, etc.

Jim

[jsp98m3]

We'll see about hoods. We ran a sale on that stuff a couple of months ago and response was just luke warm.

[Falcon501]

Jim,

I purchased a set of the 55w HID's you had on special last week, and forgot to join the wholesale club. Would it be possible to be added to the club for that purchase?

[jsp98m3]

This Wholesale Club thing also means that the E36 M3 OE Replica Bumpers with Detachable Lip (http://www.ddmtuning.com/e36bumpers.html) drop to something like $105.00

You guys gotta keep up on this stuff.

Jim

[digitaldragon03]

Im making a trip to San Diego soon. :shifty

[jsp98m3]

Falcon 501 says:

That was a group buy sale, not regular pricing. So it isn't eligible for Wholesale Club Pricing. But normal inventory, is always eligible.

If we have a limited number or are running it as a in-house group buy, we can't offer discounts on that.

Now, that can have an unfortunate consequence and I want to warn everyone about it because we are very straight up people. We sometimes run a special group buy, no discounts to test market something. We won't offer the discounts because we want to see the reaction to THAT price. If reaction is good, that gives us confidence to buy something in large quantity and make it a stocking item. At that point, its entirely possible the original group buy sales price will be our new regular price and then discounts would apply.

Confused? Call us.

Jim

[LeMansGTS]

If you could somehow get a MaShaw GTR replica hood made, I'm certain you will have many interested individuals lining up to buy one.

I understand that. I basically just wanted to be registered for the wholesale club for my next purchase since I forgot to register this time. Dunno if I'm making sense lol.

[jsp98m3]

Ahhh. Got you.

We can do that at no charge. Can you either call in or PM username APXDDM with the last 7 of your VIN number? We tag your customer name with that to ID your car so we can help you better with all the requests for suspension etc that you will be making after you get your membership.

Alright, Thank you Jim! I'll send a PM with that info tomorrow.

Unfortunately I just did suspension less than 2 months ago before I knew you guys were going to carry them :lol

I'll definately be looking out for your sales on July 4th, I want an M front bumper!!!

Thanks for your time,

<whisper> Bumpers cost NOTHING to make... </whisper>

See all the other threads for our current (its going lower) pricing.

This is for everyone: There's no prize for this, but can anyone determine why the DDM Wholesale Club membership is free after your membership fees are credited back to you? Why wouldn't I charge you and keep the money?

And the answer is: Other vendors are fighting, and complaining and knashing their teeth and trying to figure out how to crack the "nut" known as DDM Tuning. How can they price lower? What deals can they offer?

The simple fact is, there really isn't any way. Anytime I find that we aren't the lowest retail vendor on an item I will immediately lower retail pricing to be the same as wholesale pricing and then half the time, DDM Wholesale Club members get 15% off of that. And that is only Step 1. Remember, I am slowly but surely lowering the price in steps on every single item we sell to be the exact same as what I pay for it. I don't even tack on overhead. We aren't at cost on ANY items yet. Not a single one.

Today, there was another thread open with items at what would have once been thought of as a pretty good price. They weren't even close to the prices we were selling for 2 months ago.

So I put the item back up in the Benjamin box so it can sell to the general public at a good solid discount. DDM Wholesale Club members get an even better price than the reactionary panic price that the other guys switched too after their sale went no where.

We aren't even beginning to get to the final price on bumpers. Marcus actually said he felt a little sorry for the other vendor. But he got over it. Panic pricing isn't as low as our daily pricing to our friends and prices will slowly be going dramatically lower all summer long, maybe all year long.

So, I'm not going to keep your membership money because.... Membership will eventually go away and be replaced by DDM, Direct Delivery Marketing pricing at our actual cost.

I can run the business, pay all the salaries and make a nice enough living on just the rebates and incentives we receive. At that point, there won't need to be a club, everyone buys at actual cost.

This won't take that much longer. The more we get insulted, the faster I get on with it.

so is the m bumper with a integrated lip already a ddm wholesale pricing? Or is it cheaper that $100
Cause if its $100, can i paypal you an extra $5 and get one with detachable lip?

[jsp98m3]

The shipping on those two bumpers is entirely different. One is a modified horseshoe shape. The other is a solid rectangular shape.

The difference isn't $5 overall.

[Dirtsquirt]

Go to bed already! ;)

Any possible chance of digging up last weeks weekender from the dead for one last hurrah?

I need me some bright lights badly...

[badluckM3]

Sorry, but I haven't been keeping up with the Wholsale deal, and the instructions on how to join. How do I join? Do I have to make a purchase first, or does it cost $50 like the website says? Thanks

Oh, and get some vented hoods, please. With that I'd take a Front and Rear bumper!!!

[espguitarist]

This Wholesale Club thing also means that the E36 M3 OE Replica Bumpers with Detachable Lip (http://www.ddmtuning.com/e36bumpers.html) drop to something like $105.00

You guys gotta keep up on this stuff.

Jim

Uhh....Casey?

Do I need to call in again and have my numbers run again? You told me that the wholesale club thing only applied to the door moldings....what about the bumper moldings too? would that mean they're about $51 now? Cause that right there will save me almost $30.

badluckm3,

All we need is the last 7 on your Vin. Its free. It applies to your first order. If you buy the Wholesale Club membership online, its $50 and you get a $50 gift card. But you still have to call in to get your savings on each order. We're working on a new website to adjust for this. Its just going to take a while longer. Until then, just call in.

espguitarist,

The rule is no discount on sales and the way I put this thread, it reads like a sale. Just tell Casey to read my posts. I won't be into the office in the morning, I rarely am since I am up late on import issues each night. So just point this out to him and he'll deal with it and update the other sales people.

Okay cool, thanks Jim. I'll probably call back up there later to get another quote.

Jim,

Can you please clarify the shipping to Canada for the M3 bumper with detachable lip. I have been told I need to sign a waiver or get a fedex account. I have tried 3 time to get a fedex account and it says my CC info is incorrect. Have you sent many items with the waiver to Canada and what are the chances of it being sent back?

This is an email I received from techddm:

For most people, in Canada that buy bumpers they supply us with a shipping account that we can use and charge all the expenses too. That is the easiest and most direct way. Option 2: We can ship a bumper via Fedex ground with an agreement from you saying if you deny paying Brokerage, taxes and duties and bumper gets shipped back to us then we will charge you for the expenses. This will cost: $135.


Regards,
John

I really don't understand why ppl in canada just don't have their bumpers shipped to a paint shop right across the border and then just have it painted there, install it and drive back over. as for the other bumper, might as well discard or i am sure the shop would arrange for you to sell it or something.

Here are a slew of them. Try the regional forum as well. They might have the hook up on a paint guy

[thundercat]

are you kidding me
to drive down to the border aka 300km one way, then drive back another 300km. Waste 7 hours just on driving..
So thats about $85 in gas
fuck that

[///Mposter]

Yay I got a bumper...

[calypso bimmer]

Jim,

I now have a FEDEX account #. Can you please contact me regarding my order.

Thanks

[jsp98m3]

I'll have Casey get ahold of you big guy.

Edit -- Casey says you are all set.

By the attached link I'm guessing you meant "people in Vancouver" rather than "people in Canada" right?

lol, rayman, you are correct. sorry I should have been a little clearer. also people close to NY state as well.

[Lawrence1]

thank you sir for the good deals that you're putting out.

one question ... how much would a zkw passenger side headlight run me? mine is smashed but i do not need the left as that one is intact.

[neil1138]

Jim, we need to talk. I'm guessing you don't like PM's?

[jsp98m3]

Its not that I don't like them, I have 3 salespeople all answering APXDDM and they barely keep up.

You can email me at jim.apx@gmail.com

[atlantisvip]

Hell yea.. I paid for mine and am picking it up Monday. :buttrock

[jsp98m3]

I see that you mention some more items you will be looking for when you come in Monday. Be sure to ask to join the DDM Wholesale Club (http://www.ddmtuning.com/ddmwhcl.html) when you come in. This will drop the price of your order 15%.

You thought your bumper was $115.00 but it was only $100 when you bought it because you will do local pickup. With the DDM Wholesale Club, your bumper will be $85.00. So will side moldings, so will the mirrors. See, for NOTHING, you get to save $45.00 off our prices which are easily the best in the market.

With the DDM Wholesale Club, a 1 piece bumper is only $97.75 shipped!!! No group buys, no waiting, no stories to paraphrase ;)

Jim

[solgoodband]

Ok I'm probably gonna get one of these now to go with my new moldings. How much shipped to postal code V3Y 1J3 in Canada? I also have an address in Blaine Wa. that I can use too.

Hey Jim,

I joined the DDM club over the phone after I placed my order (for an m3 bumper and fogs) online. Does that mean I can get a refund of the difference? order: yhst-15912447027353-2727

Thanks!

[jsp98m3]

Step one, join the club. Call for details on Monday.

EDIT: Ok, sorry I had to come back to this, I was on the phone before. As announced, this week, the reintroduction of the bumper is at our regular price so it should have been a DDM Wholesale Club eligible purchase. Call in on Monday to get a credit please.

Jim

[thundercat]

ok cool i will
i ordered fog lights too

[jsp98m3]

Thanks. With the discount, $97.95 SHIPPED for the bumper is a killer deal.

[qidm67]

How much for each bumper shipped to 30024? The detachable lip and non-detachable one?

Also how does the wholesale membership work as in means of "Entire membership fee credited back to your account." ?

[espguitarist]

Casey quoted me ~$100 to 30040 (Cumming, GA) for the two-piece bumper. I dunno if that helps at all.

Speaking of which, Casey, my dad said he was fine with me ordering this stuff, now my only question is for Jim. How much of a deal are we talking about for 4th of July? Will it be worth me waiting two more weeks?

[DoubleOh]

Hey guys,

I ordered an m3 bumper, side skirts, splitters, black grilles and an HID kit today.

I totally forgot about the wholsale club. Would that have saved me any money?

[thundercat]

haha yep

Cool, thanks. I'm not sure if that's with the wholesale discount or not?

Yup, only in Georgia. I live next door to "Cumming."

[Pswirley]

1 piece bumper= 115 shipped
2 piece bumper= 124.50 + 100.


Call me for wholesale club discount pricing. Wholesale club does not affect shipping charges.

How is the quality on the integrated bumper one? How is fitment and attaching point quality for the wheel liner/brake ducts/porkchops/forlights?

[maleih]

Got my bumper and fogs! Thanks!

[espguitarist]

Yup, unfortunately I've lived here for about 15 years. 12 here, 1.5 in Coral Springs Florida, and then we moved right back up here, and we've been back for 3 years now.


Yup, only in Georgia. I live next door to "Cumming."

Really, where at? Oh and with wholesale pricing, the 2 piece bumper is $105 + $100 for shipping. so $205. and if you order other stuff they can stick it all in that giant box to reduce shipping, that's what I'm doing.

[jsp98m3]
