Default FAB Front Bumper. Where to buy?

Hey all, I need a new front bumper. I figure now is a good time to dump the stock look and go with a kit. Airbags and 19" Axis with the Maxis Lips have taken a toll on it staying on the body well. oops..

So the question is: Who is a good vendor to buy a FAB front bumper from? Im hesitant about Ebay and the crappy copies. Anyone have recommendations?

While I'm talking FAB, is the front bumper much lower than stock? I want to make the body lower looking so I'm hoping this will help.

Thanks in advance.

get the eBay versions. theyre the exact same as the above stores, just cheaper. i watched mounting and fitment of an eBay kit and it was RIGHT ON. drill holes, mount up. that easy. there was no adjustments or trimming to be done.

i would honestly say dont waste your time on a real kit, but do what you have to do. expected 4 digit numbers if you can find one, and you will have the same thing everyone else has basically. so for once, go eBay.

the kit is about an .75-1 inch lower than stock. its not that much but you can tell the difference in height.

any more questions, feel free to PM me

This is the same kit and same vendor I got mine from:



Price: $209.00 + Shipping

He sells them on Ebay for $499.00 + Shipping so you're better off contacting him directly through his website www.nsptuner.com and Tommy will help you out.

Can folks post pics of the font bumper with stock side skirts and stock rear bumper? I really like the style of the front, but I could careless for the other parts. Thanks!

Man. The lights cost more than the bumper lol! Appreciate you getting me a site though.

Do you guys think the IS300 fog lights will fit fine? I read that they may fit in the Kenstyle kit slots, and these slots don't look much different. Thanks.

Make yours different all right. Don't buy counterfeit or copies. I can tell a real Fabulous from a fake in a second. I don't understand the thought process about fakes and copies at all. some brag they got this great deal and then complain it doesn't fit and all and then proceed to tell us how much it cost at the bodyshop to make it fit. You could buy the real thing sometimes for the same price. As for me, I will go authentis and it won't be Fabulous cuz it's soooo copied and played out buy the couterfeiters. Sorry guys, but It's starting to irritate me....
