NYC. i drove around where he lives and trust me, you would have to drive extremely slow

on the positive side, the bumper is urethane so it can take a little bit of beating.

but like i said, the cars being driven on beautiful grounds this year so its being slammed.

The reason I ask is cause it's listed as an Ings+1 N-Spec bumper which it shouldn't be if you ask me.

I don't think it's an authentic from gaps that can be seen around headlights. It wouldn't be the first time a mag made a mistake, I mean in Import Tuner listed Cheston's car as having CE28 wheels.

Do you realize how many articles about cars have people with replica car parts but they try to pass them off as authentic?

There are countless people even on these forums who try to pull that stuff and while it works to the unknowing. I have read countless articles of cars from magazines or online sites of cars where they put a ton of emphasis on the body kit, even though it is a replica but they pass it off as the real deal. It is funny because people always say that it doesn't hurt anyone, but in reality, it hurts not only the manufacturer but the person who brought the authentic kit.
