Looks good! Again sorry it took so long to get out and for the lack of communications. If it helps, Peter and I are working on our own now since M1 is currently down for the time being. Its much easier for us to work this way now that its only two of us and no one else can get things messed up except us. From here on out were working with our customers directly as opposed to having them call the shop waiting for us to return their calls.

I know some of our parts have some complaints on them because of fitment issues and what not but think about this, when we make a replica, its being taken from an authentic piece. Like our chargespeed replica rears have the same exact problems the authentic ones had. Its an easy fix and some minor tweaking. If anyone is unsure how to install an aftermarket front bumper then please use a body shop.

Glad to see the car with the bumper on it! Looks good! Clean install too!

Looks great man but that's a hell of an indent! I wouldn't be able to live with it considering how much $$ you shelled out for it, great fitment.

^^Not quite seeing the indent are you sure your not confusing the curvature of the bumper for an indent...

OP you said it was at the driver side headlight is it the little paint chip?

M1 came through for me as well for sure. While i initially had some fitment issues they were all worked out rather quickly and now that i look back they were really tiny issues. Nice bumper OP!

There is a slight indent on the closeup pic...you can see where the black shadow starts to curve around (starts to swirl) te shadow should be almost a straight line but you can see where it starts to stick out from the straight line it should be. Thats the indent. It BARELY dents in in alittle (like i said, like when a bumper has been heat treated and its alittle wavy still afterward. It is def noticiable quickly if pointed out. Its about the size of a fist but only dents in like a matter of millimeters...but thats enough to distort the paint job and shadows so that you see it.

Ill try to get better pics of it this afternoon and post up.

Other than this slight dent, the bumper is perfect. Even with this slight dent, its not enough for me to want to go through the trouble of sending the bumper back...its not that bad.

I am just pointing out EVERYTHING, good and bad, i can, so future purchasers have a ballpark of what to expect.

Like i said, if i could do it all over again, i still would.


EDIT: The indent is where the shadow sticks out that looks like a finger. That shadow should be continuously straight.
