How I spend my $12.

    How I spend my $12.

    Well I got lucky today. I found out there was a junkyard a few minutes down my street so this morning I decided to check it out.

    Hoping to find some hood dampers for the DIY hood props I asked if they had a Legend. Turns out there was only one in the yard so I went on back. Turns out the hood dampers were crap so I wasn't going to proceed any further with that project.

    I figured I'd try my luck with the lip even though it was a sedan. Only a few zip-ties held the bumper on so I clipped them, yanked off the bumper and proceeded to pull the lip off hoping to god that I could make a deal for it. I didn't want to leave there empty handed since I had paid my $2 entry fee.

    I walked up to the office and set the lip on my toolbox, walked in and offered $12 since it was all I had in my wallet. They took it and, trying to hide my excitement, I threw the lip in the back seat and drove home.

      Nice find. I don't know about the junk yard you went to, but the few that we have around here will refund your money if you go in and can't find what you're looking for. Well they give you a card for free ad mission the next time you come. It's only a dollar or two but frre is always nice lol. Post pics when you get it installed.

          Great. If everything goes well I should be starting next Monday. Hoorah more cash flow!!!

          And yes, it's a sedan lip. Sorry for not throwing that in there. Even though it's not a coupe lip for $12 I couldn't let it go.

                            Mine is a sedan lip but it fits surprisingly well. I don't have a very noticeable gap between the end of the lip and the end of the bumper, maybe 1" total gap (.5" on each side).
