CF bumper from Importfan

hi,

I bought a carbon fiber bumper (sight unseen) on the internet from Importfan.
It is a cwest looking bumper. Now, I know it is difficult to form sheet goods into compound shapes, but this is NOT a bumper you want to own. There are cheap looking butt joints, voids and parting crap left from the mold.

I complained to Importfan and was given the "I'll forward your complaint to costomer service". No reply three weeks later.

Decided I just wanted to warn anyone else who wanted a CF bumper.

that is all.

Im not surprised by this at all. I actually saw a couple of thier front bumpers (along with another company that make Giallia knock offs in CF) at SEMA and I was disgusted. The inconsistency in the weave and the pure "hack job" repusled me.

Buuuuut - for those that need their C/F fix.

I bought a CF hood from them for my civic a couple years back. It was 100% junk. I wound up painting over the hood because it was so ****ty and I had already sold my stock hood. Their customer service was crap too. I had to threaten to sue them and they still wouldn't make it right.
