Ordering Gialla, Data Systems lip or Greddy bumper

Just got off the phone with intense motorsports, www.i-m-racing.com, and i have a few questions.

I was told that the Data systems, gialla, and greddy are all fiberglass, i was under the impression that the Data systems lip was urethane and not fiberglass, is the salesman mistaken or am i mistaken?

Has anyone experienced any cracking with any of these products?
Which one, if any, is stronger and more flexible than the others?

Prices and Shipping:

Gialla- they have one left in stock and are selling it for $519.00 with a 75$ shipping fee.
Total cost: $594.00
P.S. dont bother trying to call and order it, i have it on reserve until tommorow. =0)

Greddy Gracer front bumper- They have 3 in stock and are selling it for 544.00 with a shipping fee of 175.00
Total cost: $719.00
Main issue: dont have intercooler, afraid it will look bad. How do you think black mesh would look to fill the hole?

Data Systems/Illusions front lip: None in stock, special order only. $398.00 wiht a shipping fee of $75.00.
Total cost: $475.00
Only problem is they said it will take 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Just looking for friendly opinions and advice. Also, if anyone has any pictures of the Greddy bumper besides the one posted on www.i-m-racing.com please post them here, i want to see some different angles.

I have plenty of Data systems pictures but only 1 picture of the gialla lip...and i am not referring to the ones posted on the websites...those pics dont do either lip justice. So if anyone has any pics of these i would appriciate it they could post them.

Also, has anyone have any bad experiences with intense motorsports??

Oh, i live in NY....so if one bumper/lip is lower than the others or is more succeptible to being cracked, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! Thanks.

All input is GREATLY appriciated

Re: Ordering Gialla, Data Systems lip or Greddy bumper

I just cancelled my order for a Data Systems lip from Intense Motorsports. I got tired of the run around from them. First they told me they had a Data lip coming in on a boat in 3 weeks. After 3 weeks when my lip didn't show I called them and they said it wasn't on that boat but that it would be on the next boat in 2 to 3 weeks. I called back then and they said sorry bad news we got Data grills and back pieces but no lips. Then they told me it would be another 4 weeks. I told the to for get it.

Gialla lip looks a little too heavy to me.
Greddy and Top Secret bumpers are beautiful, but I'd feel like dork if I didn't have a intercooler set-up to go with it.
Data System / Illusion lip is the best looks lip, but what a PITA to get one.
Good luck!

Yeah, I always hear a lot of bad things about Intense Motorsport. What's up with that? Don't they want business?

Re: Ordering Gialla, Data Systems lip or Greddy bumper

I have eliminated the Greddy front bumper from my options because i won't be able to go forced induction for a long time and i just dont think it would look that good without the intercooler.

I might go with the gialla because I-M-RACING.com already has one in stock do i dont have to worry about how long it would take to get here and the wrong shipment coming in and etc.

Just to clarify...the data systems chin spoiler is fiberglass right??

Is the gialla worth 600 bucks ($125 more than the data systems) ?? where else can i find this product for a better price??
