Why are you on this forum? I was just trying help him out. OEM is always the way to go. I made a custom bumper for mine. Check out my thread and car and then TRY to talk shit!!! ACS went out of style way back in the 90's. Mastermayhm069 go with the the M-tech front with the CF splitters. You will be much happier in the long run

although i agree with the mtech front with the splitters, aftermarket is not bad. sure their are fitment issues sometimes but what doesnt have its problems. that hamman lip will look dope my friend.

I never said it would look bad. It would look sick!!! Just might be a big adventure in making it look right. Most of the time getting those bumpers to fit right is not worth it. I'm talking from experience. Either way good luck I'm sure it will look good either way

aftermarket bumper are made of fiberglass. you will end up paying more than the oem mtech front. i'd go for the mtech front over any after market bumper out there. kev ordered the hamman front bumper and it arrive cracked. just a heads up for you.

+1, looks pretty, but a PITA to get it to work on the car. My shop estimated that it would take them at least 2-3 days to get it fit and look right, which is almost as labor intensive as creating my Aero rear bumper.

Also, since it's made of FRP and it's such a tight fit, one hit and your bumper is pretty much done. For some reason, they also switch the foglight bulb to H7, so you need to rewire your fogs. The DRL needs to be wired into your headlight harness as well.


PUR >> ABS / PP >>>>>>> FRP
