Okay I have a damage front bumper / front lip and looking to do a replacement. I was possibly looking at getting a body kit as this would be a good excuse to. But I came across the link below and saw that they would seperate just the front bumper (detailed description tab).

Would this fit and look good, i have the optional groud effects package from Scion when I got the car.

This wouldn't require a front lip correct?

Any idea how much this would cost to get painted BSP?

Sorry I am probably asking stupid questions, but I know you all will provide better answers then elsewhere.

Thanks for the input.

 

First thing to consider is that is a direct rip off of the Kaminari kit. Personally, I would not buy it for that reason. They're very blatantly ripping off the Kami design.

 

how can you tell if its a orginal kaminari kit?

 

edit:

I don't know actually

 

^because kaminari only calls their kits "kaminari" and not KR-S, kaminari style, type-k, k-speed, and whatever other names other companies use, go on kaminariusa.com and they will tell you how cheap the knock off kits are and which sites sell them.

 

This.

The kit really is one of the most popular for the tC (and you can tell why, it's fairly clean compared to a lot out there). But that just means there are way more knock offs out there. I mean, if you want to "save" the money and buy something that isn't an original - go for it. Just don't ever try to pass it off as such. That's just wrong.

 

i agree with this , and i wouldnt pay more than 200 for a painted bumper , we charge approx 175 for a new bumper at the shop i work at , but idk what ur area charges

 

no like if its on the car how can you tell if someone has an original or a knock off ? are there any markings on it you can look for or under in or something ?

 

The price quotes I have got is over $600! for just a front bumper and matched paint up to 95%. that does not include the lip. I see I can buy a bumper oem bumper online for around $220 shipped. But most paint estimates from shops around here are $250-400.

They have the exact same front bumper there from extreme d for 310.00 shipped. But if it doesn't look good with the ground effects kit you can get from the dealership, i probably will just get a oem front and lip later.

Also, I wouldn't try to pass it off as anything it wasn't. I'm not trying to brag about my car, just look decent again.

thanks.
