Just curious Silver, how long did it take you to find this stuff? I here about guys like yourself who find deals but I always wonder how long it took to find the deals and where I should even start looking...i'd def be willing to look in order to save that kinda money on the facelift...

It took me a week or so to find the Bumper and headlights. I guess I was very lucky because I don't see any sets of 04+ headlights or 4.8 bumpers on eBay right now. I was lucky with the bumper because it wasn't listed as an auction but it was listed in the sellers store. Just keep an eye for these parts on eBay. Also a HUGE TIP when buying anything on eBay is to wait until the very last minute, make sure you are already logged in, and place a large bid. If you wait until the last seconds any other bider will not have time to rebid. By the time they see that they have been out bid and type a rebid the auction will have ended. Of course this will only work if your final bid is higher then their highest bid. Remember eBay will only bid in increment so the auction may not reach your final high bid. Which is always nice. I think this is what happened with my headlights. My bumper on the other hand had a Buy It Now option so I was just lucky on that one. Lastly make sure the seller has at the very least 95% positive feedback and has been a member for at least a year. I never take chance with anything less.
Goodluck!!!
