rookie bumper

The front bumper looks good by itself IMO, it hangs just a bit lower than the sides. To really complete the look though the sides are a must since they line up with the front perfectly. As long as you are running rear splash guards the rear will look fine. There isn't a rookie rear (yet).
Here are a few of shots with the front bumper with and without the sides:
Stock sides
Nisrookie sides

Just be prepared to have a professional fit the bumper as the tolerances are NOTHING like OEM and many edges are very rough. Also, don't expect it to last if it's impacted by anything weighing more than a few ounces. I've seen one of these bumpers and it's no wonder they shatter when impacted. Some spots are really thin. It's a great looking bumper, but be aware of it's flaws. I don't think anyone has really pointed this out yet among the many Rookie threads.

I don’t know who's bumper you looked at, but mine doesn’t have any "thin spots" and the fitment was spot on... there was minor gap on the side markers but I was the beta test so its to be expected - now that I have modified the bumper one area is slightly less than perfect (but that is after recent fender flare and not many people would notice)... All the others that I have seen (far more than you have) are perfect fitment and I've never seen rough edges.
I'm very curious to know whose bumper you are referring to?

Don’t you think if it had all the problems you mention there would be boatloads of complaints on the forum? Instead, there are tons of praise and requests.
As usual – you post garbage without any first hand experience and dismiss all the information given by people that actually have experience in the subject.
There’s your tongue lashing – but its really more of a warning to others to be careful about the info you post – especially regarding things you’ve never used yourself.

Why would you think only So Cal would give their “first hand experience”?... These bumpers are all over the country – and even in other countries (Canada and I think even Australia?)

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.
