how long did they say it would be? someone backed into me and im gonna order the v2 from them also when insurance comes

 

Back when BausAUTO was a vendor I bought a VIS V2 and the fit is spot on. Shine is great quality too!

 

Order it asap. You can maybe have mine if I don't end up wanting it. They said it should be done next week or so

 

Thanks

 

Going to be ordering mine from CZP here soon with a stainless undershroud.

 

wat is shine? do they make kits or they jus sell. where do they get their kits from?

 

Might want to reconsider AIT. I've owned every brand you've listed since 2005 and AIT was the thickest, heaviest and least flexible of all the brands. Shine is on a level of their own. Duraflex is like milk carton material with fiberglass backing, somewhat flexible. VIS is a little bit more brittle, AIT would be at the bottom of my quality list.

Shine >>>> VIS/Duraflex > AIT

 

Wrong place

 

Shine makes their kits. I called them and they hand lay it and there's a week wait depending on how many people are ahead of you. They make one a week and I've heard their stuff is amazing and absolutely spot on fitment. They guarantee fitment which is also nice.

I should be getting mine in the mail pretty soon and I will let you know how good it is and if it is worth the money. One thing though, the fender liners don't fit or something.. we'll see.

 

^koo. wat'd it cost u?

 

I haggled him so it cost me 50 bucks less. It supposed to cost $575.

 

I've got my VIS from CZP (after some hassles and long trips to PHX, 50% my fault) and the fitment is like, 75%. Granted I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but I've been fighting this thing for hours. Its almost there, but just wanted to give people a heads up. With the zspeed engine shield it DID NOT want to fit lol. Finally with the help of my sisters juicehead boyfriend I fought it into place. Scared to do it after paint...

(Just an FYI, my OEM fitment wasn't perfect either, as I got in a little fight with a blown out tire, but it wasn't as bad as this bumper)

 

Post up a pic once it's on!

My shine bumper should be delivered tomorrow ill let everyone know how that goes once I put it on with my fiance. It won't be until my cars out of the shop and winter crawls back into it's hole though lol

 

Its going to paint tomorrow for the weekend. Will post pics of finished product after =]

 

^ is it fiberglass?

 

Ya its fiberglass. I'm at stock height so I don't really ever scrape, and if something happens like the tire incident its gonna break no matter what its made of.

 

those with fiberglass front bumpers, is the bumper suppose to be a tight fit and kind of "snap" into place? jus wondering. atleast thats how it is with fb lips

 

Heres the end result:

Review:
The bumper is good. I would give it a C+ in terms of a grade if price wasn't a factor. Why? Because a B would be one that fits almost perfectly, and has very little wave to it, and an A would be OEM fit, etc.
Since it was only 246 however, its pretty fantastic. I wouldn't go to a show and expect to win because of the bumper, as the fiberglass has some wave to it, and the fitment isn't perfect (never expected it to be), but overall I'm very impressed. I had a bit of a struggle at first getting the holes for the zspeed engine shroud to line up to it, but nothing a bit of pushing on it couldn't fix, and now its locked on there.

Money well spent, and my painter did a great job making the most of the bumper.

 

Looks really good to me! Although I would at least paint the canards black

 

I like having it all one color, but I might black out the mesh. I feel like black canards just leave it looking unfinished.
