I was browsing for a Chargespeed bumper and I ran across these links. Has anyone ever heard of these companies?

I found them by doing a search HERE

Both kits are made from FRP (Flexible Reinforced Polymer) I want to make sure these were quality bumpers before making any purchase.

 

did u get those?

 

i think those pics are stolen

 

No I did not find anyone who had ever heard of those sites, so instead of buying from an unknown source I opted to buy from a reputable dealer instead. I bought an authentic rear Charge Speed bumper instead of a replica. It was more expensive, but the fit was perfect.

 

EricIsKlumzyee makes a good replica

 

^^^I got tired of waiting for a reply from him so I took my business elsewhere. I wish him luck.

 

hey rabbit, how is your rear license plate mounted? the replica from eric... only way to mount it really was using the bottom 2 holes. does the authentic have top and bottom?

"bottom 2 holes"... har har

 

how much is an authentic cs rear?
and where did you purchase it?

 

yeah i going the same route too.... can't wait on eric forever... thanks again for the info rabbit

 

I had my shop fill in the giant hole where the license plate goes with reinforced fiber glass and then they drilled two holes for the top of the license plate. Sorry I have no pics of this part before it was installed but if you look closely at the bottom pic you will notice that the license plate is being held in place by the top two screws. (Under the chrome covers)
BTW: this pic was taken before I got my trunk aligned correctly.





About $870 shipped to my body shop, this is where I got it:

Vivid Racing
Vrstore@vividracing.com
480-966-3040

At the time this was the cheapest place I could find by far, their service was great and shipment was quick.

 

^ damn ur ride looks good

 

^ I agree.

I think he needs more photos of his car posted up.
Seriously.

 

^i seriously dont understand that huge hole in there. it shouldve just been totally flat.

oh and how did they align you trunk? tighten the bolts?? mine looks partially open after they installed the cs just like yours. at first i thought it was the lights (have to take out rear lights to install bumper), but they are flush.

 

The shop that installed my trunk did not align it properly, so it was not the rear bumper that was misaligned. I took it back a few days later and they fixed it, now it looks good. I'm not sure how they did it, but it seemed like they simply got lazy and did it wrong the first time. They also misaligned one of my lights at first, but fixed it the second time. I decided to take out the trunk dampers that hold the trunk open because they provided too much upward force on the lightweight trunk. This made it difficult to close the trunk without slamming it shut. Now opening and closing the trunk is much easier without them and it opens much farther back so there is no way the trunk will close by itself.

I don't know why CS rear bumpers come with that big hole in the back They should be filled in. I don't have any more recent pics after the alignment, but this is what it looks like so far. I'm painting the roof black and getting a carbon fiber hood to match the theme on the rear soon.

 

off topic but what wheels, specs, and offsets please
