Would you buy this bumper from this company? The price just sounds cheap to me. I wanna buy it cause it looks to be good quality parts. But the price with free shipping makes it seem like it would be a cheap junk bumper.

i've bought many parts from rockauto but when i needs things like bumper covers i try car-part.com and parts.com. annoys me that most of the 2g aftermarket bumpers don't have that tri star indentation.

These websites have the tri star indentation? Annoys me as well . I'm just obsessed with having that OEM look (Well, excluding some things ).

car-part,com is a search engine for used parts. would be great for you

Certifit auto body has them for $38 and some change!! The one by me does at least. Same ## paying 80 for on eBay. Just a thought...

could always measure it all out and add a Mitsu badge. It would just be a raised, not indented.

 

[ishnish]

I actually wouldn't mind that but do they even have a mitsubishi badge in the right size for our cars? I'd actually prefer raised over indented .

 

[Erosmark]

It should be fine.

Wow extremely fast shipping. And great quality. I ordered this bumper thursday morning. Here it is saturday evening and my bumper just arrived. looks great. The only thing I dont like is it has the provision between the headlights for the mitsu emblem. What do you guys use to fill in this provision or indention.?

got a pic?

got a pic?

Do you mean of the whole bumper or the Mitsubishi emblem provision? And how do I add a pic with my smart phone. Cause I can't figure out how to upload them.

Both . I want to see the whole bumper. I've never done it through a smartphone. What I do is plug my phone up to my computer, transfer the pics from my phone to my desktop, upload them to photobucket, then paste them on here .

How is the paint? I want to know if the paint will last. If so, I'd definitely consider getting one of these. Also, has the bumper been put on? Any fitment issues?

I got my front bumper off eBay, and it fits like a damn dream. All the holes were already there for all the bolts, and it even had the little "nipples" (for lack of a better term) that slide into the fenders on each side. Mine came unfinished and I think I paid about $80 for it. I just bought some carbon fiber (teehee) raised emblems to go on it. Putting grill mesh on it was a little tricky, but I've had it for quite a while and I've had zero issues with it. You can see part of it in my avatar <-----

 

[ishnish]

That's really good to know. Have you put on the emblem yet? I'd like to see how it looks. This could definitely save me a lot of money instead of buyig the actual OEM bumper then having to worry about paint.

 

[ktgurl87]

Yes I have. I've been riding around with it all done up for a little over a year so far. I'm not real positive on how to upload a picture on my phone, but I should be able to get on my computer here in a little bit and do it that way. I'm laying in bed and I'm not moving .

 

[ishnish]

I don't know how to do it through the phone either I just use photobucket. Alright well whenever you're not feeling LAZY feel free jp. Take your time..

 

[ktgurl87]

You sir are a lucky duck. I thought to myself "surely I've posted pictures of my car already on here" and sure enough, I have. I had made a thread a while back about the progress of my car and what it looked like before and how it looks now. I copied the link for page 3, so hopefully it takes you there. Post #89 has pictures of the car with the bumper all painted up with the emblem I found.

Now you don't have to wait for me to get up

 

[ishnish]

Surely, you Ma'am know how to use your noggin =P. Improvise Improvise . The fitment is actually very clean on the car. For some reason, it appears to me as if the emblem sits a bit too high. Of course, this is all a matter of personal taste though =)

Thank you for the link

 

[ktgurl87]

Well you can obviously put the emblem where you want it...that's just where my eyeballs told me to put mine

 

[ishnish]

Lmao that's not what I meant.. Yeah I think I'll just put mine on the door (you know, personal taste =P) jp. I meant it stands out too high if that makes sense?

 

[ktgurl87]

Oh yeah I get ya. It is kind of a chunky emblem. I just saw them on eBay and they were cheap so I bought em . I'm sure there are some that are flatter. I think stm sells a chrome one.

 

[ishnish]

Lol don't blame you I'd probably jump on them too if they were cheap. And oh awesome that's great to know! Thank you. Now I just gotta get a response from TurboTsiThatFly on the paint quality. That would definitely save me some money.

The bumper I bought was only primed not painted. It was in excellent shape. Though they do have painted to match bumpers that they sell on eBay as well.

 

[ishnish]

Aww dang I was hoping you'd know the quality of the paint . Oh well. Thanks or the response though. This has definitely caught my attention.
