im always workin. plus im always with my honda friends 2 with there crazy fast hatches. youll see me more often this summer tho. have you bought a bumper yet?

youngflyer

nope im debating which route to go

i found an authentic kaminari front bumper with grills for 300 in ny but it would cost me about 100-150 to go pick it up and a 10 hour drive

i found a knock off kaminari that garuntees fitment from a sponsored seller on the site (m1autosport) for 325 shipped

or i can order a oe front bumper for $185 shipped however it needs grills and a tow hook cover

all three need to be painted but i have a friend that would do it for a hundred.

my family wishes i dont drive the car til its fixed so i have to do something quick, i reall dont wanna go back to oe because ive worked so hard to get the car to where its at now and i just dont want to see my hardwork go down the drain. so basically its between the knockoff and the kaminari!

if you don't have the rest of the Kami kit, I vote oe. Or post in the wanted section & maybe someone already has one thats painted for a good price.

youngflyer

no i have the kami sides and rear bumper. the bumper i tore off my car was a kami. but i dont think i can afford a new kami front bumper!

kiss_kiss_kill

Oh, if you have the rest of the kit, then yeah, I vote Kami. =/

youngflyer

thanks tina. there is no way around it, its either m3 or kami but which kami is the question. knock of with fitment guarantee or authentic. however i dont think i can afford authentic right now. i just paid off my loc!

Zac. Why don't you offer the guy a little bit more so he'll agree to meet you a little closer to here. That way, you can roll to Philly this weekend Philly is like 2 hrs away from NYC.

s2

You can drive there without a bumper and drive back with it on.

Authentic! Don't compromise quality for a mere $150. May sound like a lot of money but it'll save the headache. Polyurethane is always WAY better than fiberglass & you won't ever have to worry about cracking or flexing. Even with a guarantee of a knock-off, it's still iffy to me, especially when dealing with a company that you don't have driveable access to. Plus, if there ARE fitment issues with the knock-off you'll either a) have to spend more money on sending it back or b) spending more money on getting it refabricated for a perfect fitment you couldn't gotten from the start. PLUS, you have to buy grills anyway, that in itself could cost the difference of amount!


Trust me.

tina its tempting but if money was not an issue i would gladly buy kaminari but im going into my loc ordering this already and my parents are telling me not to drive it without a bumper because i can get the car impounded!

Your vehicle, your money, your decision.

Just giving my .02 cents. Good luck with whatever you choose!

youngflyer

tina i appreciate the advice, i do however im just in a tough bind right now! if i was using cash on hand i would gladly tap into my credit for the real thing but im using all credit to buy the bumper and i only have $500 in my loc!
