WTH are these things "technically" called?

[maveRick]

'Gonna see what the phooz on ebay will gimme for this crap.

It's the rubber baby bumper bracket thingamajiggy that holds the front bumper on.


It has the numbers 11-89C on the sticker. I also searched the web to no avail.

Anyone know what the technical name is?

'Going with "bumper bracket" for now.


Thanks,

I'll give you a buck for each one (then sell them on ebay).

BRB with ebay ad link.

I'm back. Check out the 'buy it now' price (te-hee).

(The reserve price is $35 - at least it'll make it worth boxing them up!)

You should have put bumber somewhere in the title to optimize the ebay search hits :p.

$74.99 huh? That's a STEAL!

he-he @ $74.99: Clever how that one cent will bring in the buyers like a new Wal-Mart opening across the street from an old one! :) Who knows? Some ritch, dumb blonde may think she's getting a deal of a life-time at that price! :D Come to think of it, if I was in a bind waiting on these for my car to leave the body shop, I'd pay that much! (me=dumb 2)! You never know. Thats part of the fun!:D

re: you should have put bumper somewhere in the title..

You made me go look (title reads "1990 MUSTANG FRONT BUMPER BRACKETS")

Are you pulling my..uh..uh..chain? :p

edit: WTF happened? I did a search on "mustang" and "bumper" and it doesn't show up? ("Item located in: Parts & Accessories: Parts:Car & Truck: Other Parts"). The title clearly contains those two words!

How am I gonna get rich if 'the man' keeps holding me down?!

Rick, Russ wasn't kidding about "bumber"..... he was meaning you should have snuck that MISSPELLED word in there, so it'd show up on searches, b/c MANY people mis-spell it that way.

Go to ebay and search "bumber" and you'll see what I mean, lol.

Yeah, that's all I meant Rick. It's pretty sad how many people can't spell good.

Yes, I realize there's a grammar mistake :)

Cool deal Rick! Especially since that's the reserve price! Think the winner just started bidding until they met the reserve? :)

Here's an Ebay Tip: Put that the parts are from a Cobra in the title and description. That's good for another few bucks :).
Don't really do that, I hate when other people try to sell 94/5 "Cobra" hoods or 'bumbers' on ebay as they are the same on all models for those years.

Actually, that's not a bad idea at all! "Fits Cobra" would work!

Thanks for the tip!

Also the high-bidder made two bids, one for $20 and the next for $35.00
