I say sell the header, and buy the bumper. It's probably some cheap ass copy of a copy that was copied off a copy anyways and was made of 3 layers of fiberglass that'll crack as soon as you take it out your trunk. Most I'd pay for a used bumper like that is 75 (and that's me being generous). So if you really want his bumper, take your value for the headers and subtract 75 and tell him to give you that much more. So let's say 150 for your header, take away 75 and have him give you an extra 75. Even that sounds steep but still, maybe his bumper plus 50 for your header.

if you do decide to buy that bumper, make sure you put some screen over the massive holes, so you dont suck up any horses or small animals. they can be a serious detriment to your weight to power ratio.

a used header doesn't really have much resale value, just my .02. unless you hot tank it and throw a fresh coat of paint on it and call it "new". ;)

^ true true... but a used bumper doen't have much resale value either ;D. I still think the header would be a little more valuable than the bumper. I think ricers these days figured out that body kits don't give you enough speed, i mean the 25 horsies from a full kit are great and all but as we all know headerS, yeah headerS, give you 50-75% more hp. A reagular header won't do much, maybe like ten, so remember to tell him they're headerS. :P

Two years ago I bought bodykits off one of the biggest backyard mexican bodykit makers around. I used to get pieces for $150 and whole kits for $350. I could still deal with them but they are too busy filling orders for Andy's auto sport, vis, and versus!!!! Check what used headers go for on egay, and I bet they go for a little more than $150. :-\

if that was a urethane bumber, AND you were gonna match the rest of the car to it, I say go for it, but Fiberglass blows, just sell your header and put it into the turbo setup.

I couldn't find any used DC header for a 92-95 Civic Z6 on egay. I was puttin the word out on the street around here that I was selling the header for $100, and thats what the guy wants for his bumper. I'm still not sure, I'll figure it out by the end of the weekend.
