Lightweight bumpers and resale value

[biagiosarich]

Yall! I'm considering lightening up my 88 with front and rear bumpers, probably from TRE. Maybe just the rear as I'm not set on a new front end, stock look is good for me. That being said, assuming the paint and install in nice, what does this do for the resale value? In general, one can assume the more non-stock, the less it will retain...Would you agree that the case? The car is not concourse by any means, but a very sorted 911 and trying to gauge if the money spent and effort to lighten the car is worth it if I selling down the road is a possibility...

Thoughts?

Keep the original bumper since the more non stock parts the more it will degrade the value. Just include the original with the sale or swap back.

RSBob- Makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

the fly in the ointment for any used bumper sale is the shipping cost. just bought a TRE bumper and it was $150 shipped to the bay area.

I used to be a big proponent of TRE bumpers having been extremely satisfied with both front & rear IROCs for my old racecar I got from them years ago. the latest one I got I was much less satisfied with. not going to slam Dave here as there was some effort made to make it right by a slight refund, but im still not completely satisfied. PM me for details and you can ask the questions I did not when ordering my 3rd unit from him that the last one came far from measuring up with the 1st two.
