Do NOT buy from EricIsKlumzyee!!
So I finally took my car to get the kit installed and I dont understand how everyone says this is a "perfect" fit. There are so many imperfections on my front bumper and rear. The side markers do not fit, the front does not align properly near the headlights, the rear exhaust is rubbing against the rear bumper.....and on and on....argh. I felt like the body shop was saying all this to make extra money but when he took pics and emailed them to me I did not know what to say. I'm afraid what the price is going to be now. This is turning more and more into a money pit. After waiting for a long time and the poor customer service I have to say I am really turned of by this whole experience. Anyways Ill post pics when its done.
only fitment issue I had was my corners aren't completely flush in the K2 Front, one of them won't sit exactly flush on the left side.. Fitment was fine.. It was the cracks and dents and bubbles that were the problems.. And still wondering if he used a red basecoat on everyone elses's painted pieces.
I don't see how you're getting rubbing on the exhaust w/ the CS rear.. Do you have aftermarket exhaust and if so which kind? I'm running stock exhaust and I have PLENTY of space.. The fitment should be similar to mine since we have the same bumper and they came from the same molds.. I'd be interested to see your pics when you're done.. Now the Inven I can't vouch for, but have seen plenty on people's rides, and the fitment IS on point.. I share in your anger about the side markers though, but the way they fit is totally determined by how well the measurements are of the person that creates the holes (since they're not predrilled).. My installer has already said he'd correct and even refill if necessary to ensure proper fit.
Who's doing your installs? Do you know them well? Did you explain your frustration to them and they're just feeding off of it to gain more money? I know you said they sent you pics.. Can you post them?

Small update on my part. I got a tracking number from Eric yesterday and I will be receiving the bumper today.
I am going with the Nismo, which I hear is the best fitting of all bumpers. Hopefully prep and fitment is minimal.

... i had got the INVEN myself and my bodyshop got it to fit perfectly. unless you come up close, you can't notice the small imperfections (a very small gap between the lights)with any aftermarket bumper, fitment will always be a problem and thats why they charge more to have it installed. personally, i wouldn't sell them.. you might lose some money doing that.

The rear does not line up
The exhaust touching:
The side markers:
This is costing to much, so right now I'm going to sell it and then maybe later when I have the funds I will do it.
Oh My God... Dude.. I'm sorry bro.. yeah.. that's pretty bad.. You shouldn't have to pay for THAT much prep.. I had similar chips and quarter size dents in my CS rear as well, but they weren't close to the edges, so they were easier to sand.. The corner of my CS rear (the exact area you have pictured) is where I have a crack.. But it was resanded and painted as well, but you can still see where the crack was as there's a line in the paint if you look really close.
Thats nothing I have more pics but whats the point of posting them. The thing with fiberglass is that once is molded it does change shape, depending on the climate. So maybe when they are made in California where the weather is relatively good it has no problems, but here in Chicago, where one day it could be 80 degrees and the next day 45 degrees (and thats no joke) it could have an effect on the kit. I don't know, like I said this is to much for me now and I'm going to sell it and maybe later do it again.
Dang bro.. sorry to hear that your experience has been that bad... The temp is like that here in Texas too.. Especially in the Fall and Spring.. here's a pic of my CS rear.. Wonder why yours are so far to the side.. Mine are in the middle.. you might need to get your exhaust tips looked at.. see if something's bent...Now that I look at them, those don't look like stock exhaust tips..

I was at the shop this morning and it was delivered. The bumper was sent out Wednesday the 27th and arrived this morning. I live in San Francisco so shipping is probably faster for me.
I was in a hurry so unfortunately I didn't open up the box but the box was small so I am assuming it is the Nismo since you can't fold fiberglass bumpers.

I ordered a Kuruma Diffuser,Nismo bumper + Inven roof spoiler a few months ago.Everything fits perfect Ive never seen any other aftermarket parts that fitted that good AND Eric even managed it to send me the BIG package over the sea to germany by air freight.Now Im the only one with a modded G in germany.This wouldnt be possible without this awesome Klumyzee.
So I can only say buy all your exterior parts from Eric or leave it stock.
