As I was driving to do the walk-around for my brand new home, the worst happened. What appeared to be a piece of cardboard was nothing else but a bent sheet of metal, about 48 in W x 24 in L. I don't know why I didn't try to avoid it , it looked to be so small.

I need some opinions guys, should I stick with the JP and new oem bumper, get a bumper body kit piece or other lip and new oem bumper that might match up with the rest of the JP set. Keep in mind that I'm looking for oem or almost oem fitment. I'll keep an eye on the other lip kit threads and all, I'm just looking for some opinions.









Here's a pic from yesterday

 

ah,.. this truly sucks.. i love u car.. i say u stick with teh JP kit... ur car is clean as hell

 

That really sucks! I usually don't like the JP kit but on white it looks good and on your car it looks really good so I would just stick with that.

 

ouch, keep the JP lip kit if you can find the front alone.

 

thanks guys, I was soo thinking that this would be it for me. I'll look around and see if I can find one. It is such a bad timing too, I'm supposed to be doing the closing for the new home next week. At least the wifey was with me when it happened and I always tell her that we should use her car to do things like this cuz my car is no stock no more. She feels guilty now and wants to help me.

 

damn yo that really sucks!

Get another JP, your car is NOIS!

 

get rid of the crap. just goes to show you that those fiber glass lips are a waste of money. sell what u can and go oem. less issues going that route and if it brakes again then what...

 

wow killer cardboard

 

^^ JP kit is actually urethane.

 

ouch! man i feel your pain! i say ditch the whole JP kit and get 5A kit... looks just beautiful on SW...

 

just so u know pete this is not fiberglass, it is that super polyurethane stuff that's stronger than the actual bumper. This is not the first time I get hit by something, about two months ago I got hit by a flying sunroof from a jeep cherokee. My bumper broke and the lip was intact, even though it took the biggest hit. Soo there u go.

 

hey flint, that might work. I still have to get a bumper though
U think it will match the rest of the kit?

 

nah, i know you went through a big deal getting the lip kit to fit, but i had the jp kit and hated it, so i'm glad you got it to fit. but in my honest opinion i think you should sell the jp and get the whole 5 axis lip kit and new bumper...

 

I'll think about it, it's just that I had planned the clutch, flywheel and LSD install and take it to get tuned. I only have the clutch, still have a long way to go.

 

this is the only place I've seen the lip alone, any other choices out there?

Its actually NOT stronger than stock if it broke with something so small. That lip looks very flimsy anyway, looks cool but still looks flimsy.......I'd go OEM IMHO!

 

You still have all the broken pieces? Are you willing to sell? I could fix that.

 

yep all the big pieces, missing one lil piece about a centimeter in diameter. I'll let u know.

Fast5 - metal>super polyurethane ;)

 

Or...another option is I could repair it for you.

 

but the shipping might be too much, what ya think?
