    How easy is it to swap bumpers. Keep in mind I have no mechanical experience what so ever, just alot of common sense.

    Check out the links below, for M3 bumper installation (as found @ the E36 DIY Library. See Sticky at Top of Post Page)

    Linky 1

    Linky 2

    Very easy to do.

    $530 shipped doesnt sound too bad for a full kit

    not understanding what difference that would make? fiberglass still has to be prepped (uneven spots, highs/lows) and painted...

    i got my bumper here

    its urethane which is a lot better than fiberglass and a little cheaper than abs plastic, the urethane flexes, the only downside to urethane that i know of is that it has oils in it that has be cleaned out very well before painting.

    try racerwheel.com and/or andysautosport.com because they sell m3 kits (front, rear, side skirts, everything) for a really good price but the only draw back is that i dont know if it is fiberglass, plastic, etc... but you can just give them a call good luck

    Check the vendor/group purchases area. I just bought one for $300 made out of poly carbon or something. Very light weight and strong. He is a really good guy and will get to you pronto.

    Save your money for a plastic one, the fiberglass likes to spider out and crack, i've spent 375 just to paint it twice now,

    DDM, Their prices can't be beat, customer service is good, and I believe that the ones that they sell are abs plastic.
