Hello,

I just placed an order for Authentic Ings+1 front lip and side skirts couple days ago. For the rear I want to get Impul rear bumper. Basically, I want to change how my G looks in the rear with Impul rear bumper but I'm not too sure which one should I go with between authentic or replica ones.

Here is the price:
-Authentic Impul rear bumper: $1,289 (http://www.gruppe-s.com/350z/G35ext.htm)
-Replica Impul rear bumper: $400 (from Klumzyee https://g35driver.com/forums/questionable-posts/131238-replica-kits-urathane-fiberglass-real-carbonfiber-custom-kits-pictures-prices.html)
^^ As you can see...it's a big difference in pricing.

The only reason I want to get authentic one because I'm afraid of fitment issue but then I also want to go with replica to save ~ $800-900 for additional fund of my bodyworks.

So, I would like to hear your suggestions.

Also whoever has authentic or replica Impul rear bumper, please post your reviews, experiences, and issues if any.

Thanks a bunch,
T

 

go with the authentic impul rear bumper...i've seen lots of pics of the replica impul rear bumper and they all had poor fitment...the middle part droops down...you might know what i

mean

 

^^ I have seen a person in here said about it but I couldn't find a picture what it would be like.

If only the middle part drops down then do you think can a custom support bar help that issue?

if you have the money, then get the authentic.

 

Oh now...if I understand this issue correctly:
The replica has been made a little longer length then it should be. So when the bodyshops install it they force both ends of the rear bumper to attach and match the rear lower fender/quarter panel (whatever you call it). So that causes the replica kit sags in the middle part and cracks in later time?
Am I understand that right?

Yea of course, if I have money...
But no, I don't money plus that I'm so cheap so that was why I created this thread...lol

By the way, does anyone have a picture of sagging replica impul that we're talking about? I want to see how bad it is.

I did search but could find any picture that has sagging issue.

here's one that i found for you

 

abcdfggggg or something has it. his use to sag but he got it fixed

 

imo, if you gots the money, and you're already considering it, just get the authentic bumper. it saves a lot of headache and heartache in the end. i mean, you could get lucky with the replica... it could fit perfectly, it might not crack or sag... but think about those chances... since it IS a replica, it will MOST LIKELY be fcuked up, and that means you'll have to pay $$ to modify it so it looks good/fits/fix watever's wrong wid it. so you'll probably save more money in the LONG run by getting the authentic one.

but of course, this is jmo.

 

That's ugly...
I didn't know it's that bad...I can see a big gap there...lol
Ok, I'll go with authentic one then.

Thanks guys!

That's actually my car. Haha. There's a little shelf where that part sits on, it seems like it slipped off. I can't get it to go back and haven't tried to take off the bumper and refit it. Just haven't got around to it. Will probably sell the car before I fix it or put the OEM back on. My replica isn't from Klumzee though. Mine is old. His might fit better.

Get the real deal and save yourself some headache.
