Bumper inserts

[a_d_a_m]

It's probably not the best place to post this, but I'm kinda interested in getting some reflective inserts. But I'm not interested in the $64 asking price for SS inserts.

Anyway, I saw these:
http://www.bobwhitedecals.com/Marauder.html

And was wondering if anyone's ever used them. If so, I'm looking for a review. I understand the whole "ya get what ya pay for" rationale.

And I hate to be a cheap-ass about it, but I just dropped more than I wanted to on Christmas presents for everyone and money's tight. Figured I could rationalize spending $30ish but not $60ish on myself...

[MrBluGruv]

I found mine for somewhere between 15 and like 22 bucks on eBay, it was the gold-plated set from SS inserts. I think they were closing them out though and you'd be hard-pressed to find them again there. :(

[fastblackmerc]

I've had the SS inserts installed for over 5 years now, never had a problem with them. Don't cheap out, get the SS ones.

Don't be a "cheap-ass"...get the SS inserts already!!
bob-white is kids play.:flamer:

Gotta Love It!

[a_d_a_m]

Well, I ain't gonna finance crap I don't need, s'pecially for a car that's sitting in the garage 'til next year. Looks like it'll be my birthday present to myself in April.


Good to hear from ya, Al.

And YES, that will make a swell Birthday present!!
and she'll be lookin' sharp....

If you want something besides metallic color (chome/stainless) go with the Bob White decals. I had them on mine in red for awhile but got tired of it and switched to the SS Inserts.

[a_d_a_m]

Nope, definitely want the chrome. Saw it on pantheroc's car and reallllllllllllllly dig the hell out of it.

And I think FAST MERC has them too.
I think I'll shoot for the black titanium for $125 clams.

[a_d_a_m]

And I think FAST MERC has them too. I think you're right. I just mentioned Jerry's car because we've done a little cat 'n' mousin' on 480 and other highways, and that's really where it was catching my eye.

I know in the long run you will be happier with a quality product.
BTW say "hello" to the gang and Tony for me. Thanks.

Might get back to Ohio in Jan/Feb '10...jonesin' for some cold/snow!!!
and a trip to Slyman's!

[Blk Mamba]

Hi Al, I haven't had a Slymans in a year, think I'll get me one next week.

[a_d_a_m]

Al, if you come back in Jan/Feb, we'll do a meet and the corned beef is on me.

Form my point of view:
I've had Bob White reflective RED on for almost 7 years now and no problems--love the reflective thing at night---



I've had the SS inserts installed for over 5 years now, never had a problem with them. Don't cheap out, get the SS ones.

That's why we have choices--to each his own

No necessarily--once again --it's your opinion and it's just that--, that's why there are choices--

So , see even he^^^^^enjoyed them for awhile, and like mentioned, there are choices which he choose to try differently--so there ya go--opinions you asked for--good luck........

[a_d_a_m]

Marauderman, you wouldn't happen to have an up-close picture of the inserts on your car so I may see for myself, would you?

I'll check and see--

[fastblackmerc]

Whatever inserts you go with remember preperation is the key to long lasting inserts. Clean the ares really really good. If you think it looks clean, clean it one more time. Use Q-Tipsand rubbing alcohol to get in all areas.

I think that the gold SS Inserts look great on a DTR. :up:

[hwy73]

These are Bob White decals in reflective black, the camera flash simulates what they look like when light hits them.

[a_d_a_m]

I didn't think they'd reflect that much. Thanks.

Dude did you try Wallmart??

[a_d_a_m]

Dude did you try Wallmart?? No, because I'm not stupid enough to trust that place with my car.

[bawazir]

No, because I'm not stupid enough to trust that place with my car.

Well you have told me to get my gear's done at wall mart. One of us must be really stupid for not to remember??

Marry Xmas dude i hope you get that wall mart gift card that you always wanted.

That's my Marauder in the top two pictures on the website. They look as good now as they did when we bought them and this photo was taken 6 years ago.

[boatmangc]

I want to see the pictures of the black reflective without a flash

[hwy73]

This is the only one I have right now. In April when the snow melts I'll snap a better one.

[boatmangc]

I have the SS inserts now but I think the black reflective ones are tough,
I might stick some over the SS for a while.
