Anyone bought this front spoiler/bumper cover kit?

[stoner]

I saw this on ebay today. Looks like it could be a good solution for those of us with cracked front spoilers and bumper trim that needs replacing. No affiliation. Just looks like it could solve some problems if you like the look.

I'm curious as well... they even have side skirts I think. Guessing it would need a bit of finessing, but done right might really update the car.

I think that the products by DTM Fiberwerkz look better and are comparable in price. Either way, I hear that it will take some tinkering to refit your existing brackets onto the aftermarket parts.

I like the fact that it looks more modern as opposed the current 80's look of the old US bumper. It could look outstanding if you compress the bumper shocks, trim the mold up a bit and and you should get less protrusion plus it can all be painted whatever color you desire. I want to black out every shiny piece on my car really bad yet I don't wan't it to look like a ricer when I'm done. I may or may not do this down the road but I have been looking at ideas for my front bumper including removing the trim pieces and filling/smoothing it or ordering all new trim and spoiler and paint the bumper, bleeding the shocks and recessing it. All would cost about the same or more than if I just bought one of these and cut it to fit and mess around with mounting it. I think I could get a very seamless and tight fit with it as well and would look nicer than any of my other options. We will see. I have a bunch of other things to fix before I address this problem.

Someone on Bigcoupe bought one recently.. I seem to recall him saying that no mounting hardware came with it. Not sure if he's mounted it yet but he was going to post pics when done.

The ebay ad state it only comes with generic mounting hardware and showed and small pile of screws. I think to do this right you need to be versed in welding, light machining and fiberglassing if you want it to seamless and be braced properly. Same thing I had to do with the spoiler on my M6.
