i agree with you on the polyurethane. but why stop there, why not use the same material as an oem bumper lol. I would be willing to pay more.

 

Accolade make there kits out of both it is a customer choice... personally if I had to repair either I would take the fibreglass kit any day as they are so much easier to repair... ABS, polyurethane much harder and you are not always going to get a perfect looking repair unlike glass it can be repaired perfectly with care and time...

 

Well ive decided im going back to stock and am going to buy the carbon fiber lip instead. Should have it back this friday or monday.

 

how much for the front bumper???

 

call the shop tell them to paint it Diamond white and ill take it

 

if you have bumper to numper warranty...they will fix it for free....or if you have a full coverage in your insurance....you can breake it a little more...claim it as a hit and run in the parking lot somewhere like walmart...but u have to get a police report....if you see a cop parked somewhere...you can just aproach them and he will write you a report just say u got hit and run!!!!

 

my wife's cousin is a cop....my rear bumper has a lot of scratch big ones! i did this when i got my evo last year... he wrote me one with no hasle!!!! you should do it too....

 

yeah avoid dealers.... but make sure the shop have good work too

 

they let me buy one and reimburse it! took me 3 weeks to get my check from them.
BTW i bought the JDM!hehe i have Allsate insurance.

 

PM sent

 

Bumper is fiberglass and it was my GF's mom that hit it so she said she'll pay for it. Money is not of concern and my dealer does excellent work, plus i work for the same dealer but not in the body shop deparrtment. I didnt want to go through the hassle of insurance and the stock bumper was growing on me since ive had the Evo 8 one for so long. So in the end i told them to put the stock one back and ill buy a CF lip instead. It'll look alot cleaner IMO.

 

oh sure dont forget the bumper flexs so bondo would crack under the stress use a flexible filler and fiberglass patch hahaha good thing i do my own body work and i work at a bodyshop
