M3 bumper
Hello,
I was wondering has anyone bought this front bumper from this guy on ebay......
I know it ebay and you get what you pay for, but I just wanted to check and see if some has it. If so how does it fit...

Hmm from the looks of his feedback, hes a little slow....and some of the comments were that they never received their product. I would search somewhere else if i were you, but then again, it is your money.
Plus, this is coming from someone who isn't much of a gambler hehe (and also got ripped off from eBay once...)

this bumber is the same as the mpower but the upper grill is different i guess it takes the stock grill but fitment isnt all that bad just takes some creative thinking! and mine was not predrilled!

Its not the same...If you see the Mpower doesnt have line in midle like the one on ebay. Also, I think the ebay one is a copy of the Viniati M3 bumper that has since gone out of production.

Dont go ebay -- get it from the source

I had the same question and I hear that the urethane version fits better than the fiberglass but it still needs some additional support. I have the m-power and people constantly mistake my car for a bimmer.

your from pleasant hill? I have one too but I never had time or the money to have it primer ed, painted a mounted. I might just sell it if you are interested since its been sitting in my garage for the last year and a half or so. Its the M3 one from Turyz...I've just been busy with school and esp. buying those books and what not which is why I never had a chance to get anything done to my tC. Im from Martinez BTW if your interested.

Fitment is absolutely horrible.
Hoodline doesn't match up.
The sides stick out and won't lock in place under the headlights.
It's a _____ and costly to get it to fit right.
Also, the bumper on the car makes your front end SUPER LOW.
I can't avoid scraping my front end even when going through
dips, driveways, ramps, etc. at an angle unless it's almost
parallel to the obstacle lol.
Keep those in mind.
fitment does suck but if you just try differnt ways to mount it on the sides by fenders youll evantually get it right and the area under my headlights sucked in and looked better when i fixed the way i mounted the sides!
that picture of mine was in the 3 month range of toying with the fitmint so that pick isnt how it is now on the sides and in that pic i dont have that rubber hood guard thing to seal between the hood and bumber
mine took all of 6 months of playing around to get it to were im satisfied with it. and yea that line doesnt flow right but i still like it anyway im not lowered at all so i dont scrap much but you can if your going to fast or straight up a alley .
but if you want any body kit with exception for a few your always going to have fitment issues if you diy . just ask those that diy there kits!
just my 2 cents
