full impul replica (custom)
full impul replica (custom)
...from Klumzyee (eric)!!! who else?
i didn't want the license plate holder and i don't wanna mess with foglights so i deleted them... got paint and install at M1.
i'll break it down by the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY.
the GOOD
eric is a great guy to deal with, and bebe and raymond are really friendly people at M1; all three are professional and have great customer service. fitment on the front and sides are GREAT, considering they are replicas. paint match is 9 out of 10.
the BAD
rear fitment is not so great, but not horrible. i'm not a picky guy so i can live with it
. there's that dent below the trunk and there's a gap below the left taillight...
teh UGLY
this gets long so be patient... it took 5 WEEKS for my car to get done.
WEEK 1: i originally wanted a TS front with impul sides and rear. when i took the pieces to M1, raymond said that the poly TS front would melt/sag in the summer heat. so i had to exchange the TS for the impul front.
WEEK 2: eric called and told me he cracked my impul front so he's gonna have to make me another one.
WEEK 3: eric then drops off front at M1. M1 says they don't have a mesh big enough to cover the mouth of the front. i then ordered from customautomesh.
WEEK 4: forgeting that my front had no license plate holder (stupid me ), i told customautomesh to make a one-piece mesh instead of two pieces.
WEEK 5: mesh finally arrives and M1 installed everything within days.
overall, it was worth it, damn it.
props to: eric, M1 and staff, chris and F1 staff (again)... and to all you guys in this forum!

the impul front with the plate delete looks great!!
looks clean without the fogs, too!
as for the rear, i have yet to see ANY impul replica rear that doesn't sag (prior to modification).
