would it look weird running just the front bumper of the this kit? how is the fitment of the knockoffs?

 

fitment is decent, but not great. it will take a lil work. its not super low so wont look too out of place with just the front

 

Dont buy it! Its gonna take work to get it to fit and then its fiberglass and is going to look like crap painted and when it starts chipping.... waste of good money IMO. Any body kit that isnt polyurethane is crap! Saying mostly out of anger but I have yet to see otherwise. BTW I had this AIT Fab bumper on my tC and it sucked bawlz guarana!

 

I've seen it on a few cars it looks good IMO.

I dont like fiberglass but thats just me.

 

yeah i've heard of fiberglass being a headache. only reason i was considering it is because i really like fog light placement on it.

 

Fiberglass can look just fine if you prep it correctly.

With the AIT knockoff kit you need to go over it and sand it to get everything even, it's somewhat wavy due to not having to best negative molds or production techniques. If you take your time to correct the flaws in the kit, primer it properly, and have it painted it will look great. If you just paint it and put it on it'll still look good but once you get close you can see the imperfections.

Fiberglass, polyurethane, and metal are all different materials and you need to know what you are doing with them to make them look their best when put on a vehicle. I've worked over the rear bumper on Brett's (masterbB) kit a couple times and once it was done it looked very good. from 5 feet out it looks the same as the rest of the kit, closer than 5 feet and you can see how the rear bumper is smoother and more even. The key is that we had to put in to time to make it look good.

 

thanks for the input everyone, but it seems like for the price i'd get it for it'll be more work/money than i'm willing to invest for right now.
