I have no problem with my Bumper. I even hit a curb, which should have cracked the Bumper, but it didnt and it Absorbed into the fender! Great fitment, great Product. I stand 100% behind it!

He's an expert auto body guy and luckily for him, he has the skill to give this bumper some love plus he's doing some other modifications to it. The workmanship of his bumper is pretty poor. You probably didn't notice any of these issues because you had a shop do all the prep and paint. There are portions of his bumper that are very very thin, edges that are extremely rough, and chips from mold removal (not due to shipping).

Once again, you don't have to own a particular thing to know that it's cheap or doesn't work as advertized. You know, as well as I, that the infamous Tornado intake is a joke.
I'd love to see the 27 rookie bumpers that that have the issue you claim. I've seen at least a half dozen in person with none of what you are saying.

27 pictures showing numerous flaws on a single bumper.

1) It's a far away pic
2) You most likely had someone else do the prep and paint
3) Many of the flaws I see are with structural rigidity. Basically the bumper is woefully thin, especially as the form approaches and rounds corners.

Maybe you guys got nicely finished bumpers from the vendor, but honestly I don't see how your's would be much different from the one I've seen since they all come from the same mold.

I will not post pictures without the permission of ClearBra_Guy. He's the owner of a clear bra shop and also a professional photographer. The pictures are copyrighted. He has been notified of this thread.

I was only chiming into this thread to let people know that they might have to do additional prep work when receiving this bumper and that it appears to be fragile.

now let me get this straight. ur saying there's a flaw with the bumper.
what part of it?
im a photographer myself.
tell me what part of the bumper that has something wrong with it and i'll snap it to see what you're talking about.
i have had my rookie bumpers for a few months now, and had no problems.
i'm really anxious to know what's the problem with our bumper.

copyrighted or not, as long as u dont take the "photo taken by: blah blah blah" or watermark u call it off it's nothing wrong. show us the image!
