Got This For My Car

[ilovefood]

I know some members already have this, just thought I would share it again.
I got it directly from the manufacturer(I think) in China and was quite surprised by the quality to be honest. Can't test fit with so much snow and dirt on the car but will definitely post more pics after install. I would be more than happy if the fitment is 8/10 for the price I paid.

you guys should wait to see it on the car first .. just to see if the flared front fender matches up with the rest of the body

OP is stingy with information

I've been talking to those guys in China... The shipping is expensive.

Let us know how it fit and what you paid!

[blbroo]

If it's from China, you can most likely find it on eBay guys.

And Doug, stop being so sensible. There are ways to make it fit. (this car ended up in a highly popular calendar, I'm told)

^^ Yea that was the ALIBABA place I messaged for a bit.

It was going to be around 900 to my door for one. (at that point I might as well buy it from ebay)
The Price goes down obviously is if you buy more... But I have no use for multiple bumpers

[jran76]

It's a replica. It's fits (ok). There are at least 3-4 threads with pics of this exact bumper. Whether it comes from eBay, Alibaba, or whatever, it is coming from the same manufacturer.

It is meant to match up with the non-rs fenders

Wow didn't think this would arouse such interest. A friend of mine owns a carbon fiber part shop in Hong Kong and he hooked me up with this particular seller. The links above probably point to the same product as he told me only a couple factories are producing this.

As far as the fender concern, this is supposed to be a direct fit, no modification needed.

I won't post the price prior to test fitting this thing, reason being I don't want to disappoint our fellow members if fitment is subpar. Yeah shipping is a bitch but I opted for 5-7 days shipping and I still paid less than those ebay prices.

interested! pending fitment of course!

Could look awesome if it doesnt require a TON of body work to fit properly. Good on you for taking the risk while the rest of us wait for the results of your efforts.

[evanferl]

Is it fiberglass or plastic? I'd be interested in picking one up...depending on price and fitment...

Fuck China. Buy Murica!

[markskyline]

Very interested in this too! We should set up a group buy if the fit is half decent.

[ilovefood]

Hey guys I haven't been able to install this thing because the weather has been too cold, don't want to break any taps. Will keep you updated.

[Iceburg-V604]

Really interested in this, please post when you can and thanks for the update! Fingers crossed, maybe a group buy is in future order :)

The 'Murica part was tongue in cheek lol. I don't mind things made in other countries as well, but seriously stay away from Chinese built stuff. Foods, cookware, technology, anything.

[ilovefood]

I got that fixed for you.

Thanks! Autocorrect on my phone hates me. That with swype is the death of my typing...

Hey guys so this is my review on the bumper after the attempt to test fit it last night:

Pros:
1, The bumper and grille lined up very well, no gaps whatsoever.
2, Bumper and grille finish is very good. Smooth primer on the bumper and quality paint on the grille, no drips or sags.
3, Fitment is VERY tight! Lined up with headlights and fenders very well, leaving gaps no wider than OEM bumper does. BUT this also leads to a major drawback during installation.

Cons:
1, The bumper is made of polypropylene and is a bit harder than the OEM bumper. With the tight fitment I had to really push the side in to line up with the fender. In an unheated garage under -14 Degree Celsius it’s even harder to achieve. The sides just popped out when I let go of my hands. I feel it’d be much easier to install this in warmer weather with an extra person to put the screw in while you push the side in and hold it in place.

2, The space where it holds the lower fender line screw is bent (shown in pic), fixed it with heat gun. Also it lacks the white plastic screw anchors so you will need to order them.

3, Not really a bad thing but it gave me a hard time during the install. you will need to use the provided black crash bar or the bumper won’t fit. The black crash bar is less curved.

Just watch out for inground pools.
