Hello everyone,

Been here for awhile and i love the site. Lots of info, ppl that help and some very funny comments throughout

Got my Tc about a year ago and I just started to add more and more to it.

Tsudo 4-2-1 header Tenzo CAI Tsudo catback & down pipe
Dropped on Raceland
Unichip (uninstall)
Led swap on sidemirrors
Led Taillights









Then on I-4 i had an encounter with a piece of rubber and lets just say that the tire rubber won (sea la madre) Anyways front bumper got cracked...found a deal for an aftermarket bumper and went for it










Looking good but had a very smart neighbor that forgot how to back up a truck and well....



With insurance money bought some new fenders and new side mirrors. Kind of nervous to see how it will look at the end but oh well I can always try to go back stock

 

Where did you get that front bumper? What is the name of it? Ive never seen that one before.

 

I think its the B-2 front bumper...at work cant verify it

 

big fan of the led swapped side mirrors. such a clean look.

 

^^x2 Love those mirrors...sad to see them go. I actually gotten done from a member here @exposed

 

What springs are you on? I like the drop...

 

He said he is on Raceland coilovers

 

That front bumper is from the BC2 body kit. I have it on my Monterrey Blue tC and I like to think it's a rare piece on our tC's, probably cause of the fitment -_-

 

Yeah the fitment was a _____ to get it just right and if you look closely on the pics you will see that its not quite there. But i got it at a shop here in orlando (eyecandy) to fix it up and fix the damage.

 

yeah the body shop was not too happy about my body choice haha

 

Did you get your car done by them? post pics

 

No no, not the same body shop

 

Quick update

Grrr it had to be too good to be true. I order some nice fenders from ebay (stupid) and of course they dont fit







As you can see, huge gap!!!

Very odd request from the seller for me to get my refund they want me to take pics of the fenders destroyed and email it. Then they will refund.

Anyone heard of that?
Now waiting for my tc to be back miss my car grrrr

shouldve just saved to get the cf fenders

 

yea get the cf fenders!

 

lesson learned....dont buy from ebay!

 

Yea, that sucks bro.

Hope you get everything resolved...

I don't buy ebay unless I have too... I rather suck it up and pay a little extra for a quality part... Too many bad experience with ebay =p

 

You know when you try to take advantage of a situation..usually it backfires...yeah karma is a b@#$

So...
Fenders didnt work so I got the refund from the ebay seller and the shop put in the stock fenders. Paint job was on point i like it but....

They gave me the car SCRATCHED exactly where they painted the car...really??? grrr

As you can see in the pics around the Top front grill there is a bump sticking out that the shop told me they couldnt fix?? Grrrr

Then the side mirrors looking ok but when i washed they call one of them fell off....they never screwed them in plus they couldnt get the connections to work properly grrrrr

Last but not least the other fender (passenger side) didnt have to be painted but i guess they scratched it so they did but it doesnt blend right.....

3 weeks with no car..im done they still have to install the plastic that goes underneath the engine and the ones that go by the wheels

check the pics









Question for everybody...

Am I being to picky regarding the fender didnt need the paint job? Should i complain about not blending with the rest of the car??

Should i ask them to try to fix the grill bump?? Is it fixable??

Oh want more thing they never installed the foam that goes in the door so the door vibrated like crazy when i closed it...sounded like a bell hehe
They fixed it but now i see 2 streaks that show up on my window after i bring it up..anyone experience this???

I just dont know if i have the patience to go there and ask them nicely to fix the rest. They are cool and everything but i hate it when details are overlooked.

What do you think?

 

Ok here are 2 better pics of the BUMP lol grrr





Any suggestions of how to fix it???

I may go super ghetto (aka crazy ziptie invention lol) but I really dont want to

 

don't take no for an answer. Go back to the shop and make them fix it. It seems that the bumper was forced to fit (and it caused that bump). If you took it off the bump would probably pop out. Might have to do some body work under the bumper to get the right fitment.

 

Yeah i asked them about it and they say they cant fix it...i dont believe it plus having no car for another week is not good..

Just need to get opinion from somebody with experience dealing with aftermarket bumpers it just sucks right now
