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!
