So, short story, I need a front bumper. I'm pretty much set on either a karuma z or an inven.. and maybe some Impul skirts as well

Anyway, I've been trying to determine where to buy. I was originally looking at baus because I had heard good things previously, but they haven't been responding to my PM, and I've read that their service is lacking recently for whatever reason.

Anyway, for price, service and fitment, where should I turn? Time IS an issue for me, I kinda need to have it ASAP.

Any nudging on the decision between the inven and karuma welcome as well

Thanks guys.

P.S. What are my undertray options with either of these things?

 

I went with Baus for my inven front. Fit is spot on. I also went with the Rare JDM AL undertray. Some of the holes needed to be modified to fit right, but the install wasn't too problematic.

 

Where could i get ahold of one of those trays? thanks for the insight

 

Get in touch with James @ OCinfiniti

funny that i find this post when i finally decided on a bumper lol
im also looking for a karuma Z but i started to like the K2 as well.. just want something that will let my intercooler take in air but thats not too bulky or flashy..

 

2nd vote for Eric / BausAuto. Great guy.

 

I do not recommend Motion Drift for Kuruma Z. I ordered bumper that was supposed to take 2 weeks to mold and ship to my door. I canceled the order today, 5 weeks later.

 

Motion Drift = Strafe. Explains everything.
Friends don't let friends get Strafed.

 

^Strafe? Never heard that before.

 

Search, they're remnants are littered all over here. Most threads related to them are locked.

 

Strafe is always looking for a way to change their front to keep selling while providing terrible service.

I bought a Karuma Z, Impul sides, and a CS rear from Eric @ BAUS. He was very helpful with questions, was honest about what he had in stock (all but the impuls), ordered the impuls right away (Thursday), and now the parts are already on their way to me as of yesterday (Tuesday). Good experience thus far with BAUS.

 

And if you're debating about the Inven front, Eric is the original designer of that bumper.
No other bumpers were designed by a fellow driver member.
I've gone thru 4 Invens now (all flavors, 2 of Eric's FG, I got Strafed once (thanks VIS), and now I'm on the Poly version).
Always perfect fitment.

Well, except for the Strafe-ven/Strafe Shelf (yea search for that thread too). That fitment was crap.

 

did u get strafed by their cancelation policy?

 

 

^ Actually, I warned I would cancel if I didnt hear something on Friday. By Tuesday I hadn't heard a single thing, so I sent an email, saying I canceled my order. They replied back to that later in the day saying "No Problem".

I got a voicemail from them about 6 hours ago, explaining that there was a "mix up", the bumper *could* ship out tomorrow, its boxed and ready to go. Somehow someone didn't have my number written down correctly (Then how did they call me?). So they want me to email them back saying to go ahead and process the order, and I would have the bumper shipped same day.

I'm unsure how to proceed. If they are telling the truth. Then cool, I'll get my bumper as advertised. (But will this bumper be a perfect fit like its supposed to be.. ?)
Or are they just wanting to charge my card, to lock me down, while they stall and the bumper doesn't arrive when they say it should (Shipping from Cali --> FL = 6 days).

Any thoughts?
