I've seen multiple Strafe bumpers here in DFW, and every one of them is spot on. I agree with everybody else on taking it to another shop

I don't want to bring it to another shop and have a different color bumper. Any good shops in NY that you guys can recommend?

Try these guys

My Strafe Chargespeed bumper recently arrived and the shop said it was one of the best aftermarket pieces they have seen. Def, try another shop and always PM the vendor before you take an issue public. Especially if you are not 100% sure.

nice pix dustin.

the fit is pretty dead on...although i coulda done a lil more trimming to make the side markers fit a lil flusher.

my buddy that did my bumper put a decent amount of prep work into the bumper, smoothing out the few small raised edges and spots and the center area above and between the grills were a lil wavy but he got it worked out pretty well. i love how it turned out tho!

is it true for bodykit replicas at some point the replicas start fitting worse and worse as they continue to make copies of it? but the first couple replica come out really good

^ yes. and that is why molds are re-done after certain amount of runs to prevent this. in this case THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
