i honestly thought the replicas were exactly the same. then when i got it to my door and opened the package i was FURIOUS at the **** quality from extreme dimensions. and there was no refunds. so i had no choice but to rock it, the bodyshop guy was like omfg this bumpers a piece of ****, and i knew it. I know my body guy does a fantastic job and will make it look perfect but if anything ever happens to the bumper like someone bumping into it, it will most likely break and ill just buy an OEM one. im still new to the evo scene so im learning as i go.

SSickLS1 Apr 12, 2012 06:08 PM

where is everyone buying these jdm bumpers from? are they really spending 1k on non painted bumpers from OEM?

TwStDeVo Apr 12, 2012 06:08 PM

i have a silver evo as well and been thinking about a color change, cant wait to see the finished results! if you dont mind me asking, how much does it cost for a full color change?

SSickLS1 Apr 12, 2012 06:19 PM

HiPsiCanadaGuy Apr 12, 2012 06:21 PM

HiPsiCanadaGuy Apr 12, 2012 06:24 PM

injentech42 Apr 12, 2012 06:26 PM

speeddream Apr 12, 2012 06:41 PM

the quality is GARBAGE from ED..right out of the packaging it was cracked, the damn thing doesnt even flex. its hardened mold is stiff. one bump from anyone and that bumper is toast. i dont even care if ED sees this thread, im bashing bc it sucks and everyone should know it.

cool man I appreciate it. I'd rather be told how it is then have guys beat around the bush and be like oh well the quality isn't that bad blah blah blah.. garbage is garbage. call it what it is.{thumbup}
so much for their duraflex stuff.:lol:

its to bad baysonr stopped carrying their polyurethane jdm rear replica. that had great reviews.

Hard to tell from the poor cell phone photos, but looks like you're goin for Sunset Orange Metallic, no?

:beer:

wazmunstr Apr 12, 2012 07:23 PM

that's awesome man. Can't wait to see the final result!

AMF Apr 12, 2012 07:44 PM

My fav color {thumbup}. Doing the full paint job is a pretty big investment. That would be my last investment in the car. I've asked around that decent paint job generally cost over 5k easily. Anyways good job man, keep us posted with the final results. :beer:

uncool89 Apr 12, 2012 09:04 PM

i like, keep up the great work

Yeah it looked brighter in the pictures, but I couldn't tell with the quality of the photos. Thought maybe it was the lighting. Saw your sig and figured that's what you were going for. I have a bud that had a SOM Black Bird WS6. Pretty sharp F-body. :beer:

SmurfZilla Apr 14, 2012 08:22 PM

I forgot who (maybe mitsubishiparts.net) is selling the white for less. Drivelinestore/auto is who most people get their bumpers from.

importmachine Apr 15, 2012 12:20 AM

wow! i can already tell that you like orange lol. that orange is bright as hell. I like it but i only have one problem ..... I want moaarrr picss

SSickLS1 Apr 16, 2012 08:53 AM
