To make a long story short, I was rear ended by a drunk about a month ago. I took it into the shop to get fixed and I wanted to get the rear bumper replaced with a California Special rear bumper. Turns out they were shipped the GT500 bumper. Are these the same? From a number of threads I read that the GT500 has a textured lip on the entire bottom where as the C/S is only textured on the bottom rear of the car.
This is where the headache comes in.
The shop is telling me the bumper can not be painted like the C/S because the entire bottom is textured indicating to me they ordered the GT500 bumper and not the C/S version. Plus they are telling me there is no clear line where the paint stops. They are saying the bottom lip is just a solid textured black.
Can anyone on this board with a C/S mustang tell me if the entire rear "lip" is textured or not? If it is, that would mean that the textured part can be painted and is suppose to be. I can't tell from just the pictures people have posted.
What it sounds like happened is that they ordered this piece not from Ford but from some website and trying to dump it on me.
From what I read on other threads are people saying "I think.." or "I believe" but I need a definite answer so I can go to these bastards and tell them exactly what happened since it's been a month and they obviously don't know.
Sorry for the long thread but I need some input from people who actually have a C/S mustang.
