You'd probably just get the plastic decal out of the imprinted area and then put bondo or filler in there...sand it till it matched the rest of the bumper and have it painted. I don't know how much it would cost, but it's probably a bunch of money you could spend on something else. I bet if you had it done it would run ya 100 bux. If that's nothin' to ya, then go for it.

I have a suggestion that would save you tons both ways. I specifically got my bumper because of this... it's a 97-99 bumper that is only $269 primed, and has a cleaned off front end................. it's from all places: PEPBOYS! Plus you get 10% off when you open up a new account... how sweet it is 
The bumper is as far as I can tell, of comparable quality ie durability, and it's also easy to paint (so said my friend at the body shop). I'd go that way with the urethane bumper so you won't get it cracked off

There are a few non-OEM bumper cover manufacturers out there that sell bumper covers that look like 97+. The only difference is that there are no holes for a fron license plate nor any place for an emblem..could be just what you are looking for...
Ask a body shop what it would cost to get one. They should be 250 or less.
Look at the bumper cover on my sig pic...no emblem

I dunno what ya call it over there...bondo..? its the same stuff you use to fix dents and stuff before paintjobs....just fill it up and then use a sandpaper to get a good surface to paint on.

I know what I used..but its sold over here in Europe..I bet you have some other stuff over there..but use a pretty rough grid at first..then finer and finer til you end up with a veryvery fine one....Its the same as all the stuff you use when you fix damages and dents..you do it exakt same way..so ask any bodyshop around and they can help you out..its no big deal at all really

Bondo is a brand of filler. Works great.MaNGiNa24 said:
