ugh cracked bumper

Well the title says it all. I've had my chargespeed bumper since late last year. I finally curbed it just a tiny bit. This bumper cracked like a paper plate. No flex at all. I'm disappointed to say and this is only my personal opinion that this bumper is not something I would recommend for daily street use with the way it sits. Stock bumpers bend, and some other after market stuff does as well. This thing just felt like I took a piece of hard fiberglass and jammed it into the curb. I'll leave it cracked and probably eventually buy the evo 9 front bumper to replace this piece of **** design that didn't even fit right from the get go. I got this because I thought it looked nice and had a fender bender. Insurance paid for it (less then the stock bumper/lip) I totally regret it. Just a warning...its a nice looking bumper...but for driving around every day I don't recommend it as you eventually will forget about tall curbs and this thing doesn't bend it just breaks. Hard lesson learned. ;(

it's called fiberglass.... it's not gonna bend like urathane. go buy anything else fiberglass, run it into a curb and see if it "bends"

i've had mine for 1.5 years and no probs, fitment was 100% perfect and my bodyshop said it needed no prep work and was the best they have seen.
