Bomex Kits on importfan.com

[SpyderX]

I just recently checked out importfan.com and noticed how cheap the bomex kits were. It was like around $150 for a bumper, that just seems so cheap to me. Is the quality not good? Does it not fit well? Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Any info will be appreciated.

If it's THAT cheap, it's probably a replica. It doesn't take long for taiwanese companies to make replicas once a new bumper style comes out.

are you positive its a bomex?

 

[SpyderX]

I guess its not bomex, but i'm wondering if its quality stuff or not. just curious if anybody ordered from here before.

 

[Airpoppoff]

you got a pic of it, i dont know what one your talking about, i know tons of people have ordered from threre though

I looked on thier website and I do not see that the bomex kit is 150. If it is, please send us the link (if it that cheap, that it probably a knock off)

the kits that are like 150 are GTP brand the bomex kits are labeled i believe they are about 350 a bumper. but my friend just order a full GTP kit for his civic so im going to see how good the stuff is before i order it haha

350 is that just for the bumper??????

I just got my Bomex Type 1 rear from GTP International. Excellent quality. True Bomex piece. Has the Bomex stamp on the inside right rear. Came predrilled and with metal inserts for the liscense plate mounts. Was 675 shipped. I highly recommend GTP and will do business with them again. Only problem is that you have to pay with money order or Cashier's Check. Oh well, small price to pay when ordering quality parts.

do you have a link????

Go to importfan.com and check out the aero parts for the 2G Eclipse

 

[Airpoppoff]

thats so expensive, then plus paint :shrugs:

 

[JHiratzka]

It is a little pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. 4 layer fiberglass, finished to a perfectly smooth shine, predilled to fit, metal inserts, perfect fit on the car, (I held it up and matched the holes). Can't ask for more when buying a kit from Japan. Well, made in Japan anyway.

 

[Airpoppoff]

well it would still break then wont it, since its fiber??????

 

[JHiratzka]

Yeah I guess. Just have to drive carefully. I've had an Andy's Auto Sport fiberglass Combet rear on for over a year with no problems.

Bomex kits are 7 layer, not 4 layer, of hand laid fiberglass. Hand laid is stronger than machine sprayed, which is what most kits are these days.

 

[JHiratzka]

Thanks for the correction. I thought Bomex was only 4. Good looking out.

 

[cait sith]

No problem.

Another nice thing about bomex kits is that they actually come in BOXES, rather than just wrapped in a plastic baggie with some bubble wrap on the corners. Kind of trivial, but it greatly reduces the chance of shipping damage.

BTW all bumpers/materials will crack. I know my stock stuff is cracked to all hell...
