Installed my TS front bumper!!

Ok, some of you may have already seen this bumper, and I know I had a bunch of people asking me how it fit's etc. We got our's a few days ago and had a bit of time to mess with it today. It is not finished, but it only took us about 1.5 hrs or so to adjust it to the point where it fits pretty well. With a bit more tweaking I say we can get it to fit very well. It is made out of fiberglass, but its "duraflex" which is very durable (plastic/fiberglass mix) I have a video posted below. Lol it's kinda cheesey but it get's the point across, these bumpers can take some abuse, not like typical fiberglass. Not too bad for about half the cost of an original. I took some pix as well, again, it is not totally done, we had things to do and had to head out so we didn't get to spend too much time on it. I will have a GB on these in a couple days as I should be a vendor here again by hopefully tomorrow.

The bottom lip was not mounted at all, we just put a couple things under it to hold it up. We will put the lip on once we get everything line up

Thanks, Dont know when I will be able to mess with it again, but I did like the fact that it was pretty close to begin with.

Looks nice. I was going to get a TS bumper for mine but chose the ACP instead.

I personally like it without the chin-spoiler...but I bet it'll look great in the end regardless.

I think you should send one to me for a professional to give it the golf ball test.
