i wonder why i am the only one who can post in there? forums rules say for a group buy a forum sponser has to pick it up. So i had to start a thread there in order to get this rolling. But i have yet to see anything yet. i guess this is about 2 years to late. but i hope we can make it happen.

because the shine is a smiley face and they want the exact look of a 2 without paying an arm and leg. so why would you want a more expensive untested v2 again? because you can buy this now for less than 400 and not wait.

so my post was deleted lol. really we cant have opinions on the intenet. where is the reply that was directed to my post?! you guys can delete what i write whenever it is disagreed with?! so i WILL post what i said before in a less honest tone to make the sensitive ppl here not freak and have to edit the hell out of a supposed unbiased forum so they cant read the truth if they tried. they delete it from history lol (there were even pics lol)
so to reiderate my deleted point; 435$ is too much for a bumper made of anything BUT real carbon fiber. this poly bumper at 435$ will drive up the cost of other PU bumpers which is BAD for the market. the price shouyld be no more than 300$ due to the FACT that all bumpers cost the same to make, asumming common designs and matterials.
so my PU bumper (below) fit 110% perfect from ebay for 135$ shipped! how can anyone justify paying 450! it needs to be around 300 sorry. heres the pic of my 135 bumper. this(the co that made my bumper) could make a v2 for the same price if they TRIED. it would not ever be 435$.

If wings west would step up to make the whole kit, then I would be game (if it's not outrageously priced). Kind of defeats the purpose of having a urethane bumper if you're stuck with fiberglass side skirts and rear bumper. The one and old experience I've had with WW was awesome. Didn't have to modify anything to get the kit to fit like a glove.

no and no, the ebay bumpers ARE a direct fit and do NOT need modification. check my pic. its the CHEAPEST bumper you can buy on ebay and it fit PERFECT and instal takes 5minutes yourself. i am sure the more expensive versions fit just as well. just clearin up the rumors.
so my post was deleted lol. really we cant have opinions on the intenet. where is the reply that was directed to my post?! you guys can delete what i write whenever it is disagreed with?! so i WILL post what i said before in a less honest tone to make the sensitive ppl here not freak and have to edit the hell out of a supposed unbiased forum so they cant read the truth if they tried. they delete it from history lol (there were even pics lol)

Just because a vendor sells one bumper that has certain characteristics does not mean a different one will have those characteristics.
I did not read the entire eBay auction you posted BUT the ones I have seen say they may not fit and must have professional installation. That imho is done to stop people getting returns due to poor fitment.
Are you interested in this bumper? If not why are you posting in this thread?

read the middle of the ebay link i posted then next to the green bumper it describes the fitment and flexability. no need for a full PU version. buy the ait now.
yes i am going to buy one eventually to change up the look of my car when i want. again 5 min switch. heres a post i started asking about good aftermarket v2s and rear bumpers.
https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...y-fitment.html
i got no real responses, meaning the problem is not the lack of manufactuers its the lack of knowledge of quality, and where to buy, by consumers.
i dont want a bumper to be made at a high price, get a lot of publicity, and raise the price of all the other bumpers for our cars regardless of the style. if everyone is happy paying 450 for this the co. i bought my bumper from for 135 will know people would still be getting a great deal (comparatively) at 250. soon enough every bumper manufacturer raises their price by 100$. how about getting 20ppl in on the deal at 325$ instead of 10 at 450? i am helping the market by thrashing this price. get it?
