Wanted: 1985-1990's GL front bumper (Seattle area)

Featured Replies

Hey guys, my mom's Subaru just got smashed in the front end, but the damage was limited to only the bumper assembly. Does anybody know where I can find one within 100 miles of Seattle? I tried a few wrecking yards, no luck so far ????

I have one but maybe too far away for you, I am 10 miles north of Salem OR. $35 Pictures on "Parts For Sale" and Salem Craigslist.

Is that an '85/86 shorty bumper?

So here's what I ended up doing. Mom was adamant about having the same exact style bumper as the one that was damaged.

 

I looked everywhere, but couldn't find one. I did find a early 90's Loyale and grabbed that one.....it was beige though.

 

I decided to to reskin that bumper and took mine off my 86 GL and put it on mom's car instead.

 

I will take the Loyale one and all will be good again ????

 

Once I put both GL and Loyale versions side by side, its pretty significant the safety changes that were made to the Loyale version.

 

I will never use a GL one again in my car, as the Loyale one is clearly built stronger......and fits like a glove. I only had to splice in the different wire connectors to make the lights work.

Tell Mom you want her to be safer!!!  I'll trade you for my "safety" bumper straight across for your Mom's "unsafe" bumper.
