Anybody purchase from the web or any vendors here on the forum?

I'm not looking for something nice/aftermarket. Just looking to replace a cracked stock bumper and then probably sell the car and get into a G37x. Spending less than $450 would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.
I'd love to know this as well - I even need the same color LOL. I cracked the lower part on an ice bank this winter and it looks like crap now.

Is there a way to reach the dampening settings for top of the rear struts without having to actually take the strut off? i.e. go through the back seat or something???

Unless you have a coilover with rear extenders (like BC Racing), then I think you have to take it off.

I believe you can if you have a sedan with the premium package with the reclining rear seats otherwise they'll need to come out

Hi, sorry if this is a newb question but my 04 coupe suspension is noticeable lower than before on my drivers side. Like the wheel gap is definitely a lot less than from a month ago. It's on stock suspension and has never been changed i dont think. Does that mean it's starting to wear and i need new ones?

This is the sedan thread, but the shocks may be blown on the side that's leaning... I would change them...

Searched for a good 10min and the only thing that turned up is an ad on Craigslist, every other site I checked said they were on back order or discontinued. I wouldn't of thought that sedan clear corners would be harder to come by than the coupes.

I emailed them last week with no response, so I assume they're sold by now.

Unsure what the piece is even called that I am trying to look for so its been hard to search for much.

I have an '06X without nav so my antenna is the little circle button on the roof near the front windshield, no shark fin or anything, just a black circle. The black plastic on the top half cracked at some point and half of it is now off exposing the metal magnet/antenna beneath it. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not when it comes to water hitting it, but either way it looks bad seeing the metal and like a green ring or whatever else the antenna has where its normally covered up.

What would be the name of the part there so I can look for a replacement and has anyone changed theirs before? That magnet is crazy strong so Im not sure how much work it would be to take the whole thing off so that I could replace both halves of the plastic or if I'd be better just fixing the upper half. Or a third option if its all one unit, I can get the entire plastic covered magnet/antenna and just plug my cord into the new unit.

I assume it would be a simple job as long as I had the parts and wouldn't need to bother with a dealer fixing it, but if someone has experience dealing with theirs, Id appreciate the insight.
