    Reproduction Rear Bumpers: SWB 911's

    Does anyone have knowledge on why the reproduction right rear bumpers are so much more expensive than the left rear bumpers?

    One of the parts houses has the right side at nearly $1k with the left side at $350. That seems like a lot of disparity to me, but I'm hoping that someone might have some information to enable it to make sense.

    Thank you.

    Who is making repro SWB bumpers? Restoration Design?? If so why not ask the manufacturer, or is this a Chinese thing?

    Okay, I must have chosen my words poorly. I'm not shopping for bumpers. I have bumpers for my project and I have a couple of bumper cores. But thank you for the offers...

    I have asked the company and the response was, "It's based on our cost," which wasn't really helpful.

    I was simply attempting to learn whether anyone in the community knew of a genuine reason for a 3:1 price difference between left and right bumpers.

    So, does anyone have an answer to the question that was actually posed?

    Thank you.
