The ASM Rear Aero Bumper -08 Wide are now in stock so you don't have to risk cracking by molding bondo and fiberglass onto a bumper.

someone told me it's going to crack when the car bumps so much, i live in New York city, roads are like war zones in some areas, so i am kinda worry....

anything i can avoid it to crack?
dood are u serious? sounds like ur just making up excuses.. if ur not going to buy the asm rear then get the shine mold on piece or live with the gap.

the bumper isnt going to crack. make sure u get a decent body shop and theyll be able to mold it onto the bumper.. NO BONDO was used as far as I know.

its not going to crack any more then a regular bumper would crack. im running tein SRC's which arent made for comfort. Ive had no problems.

In case anyone was wondering how ASM cuts away the rear quarter panel. This is how they do it. The "gap" left by cutting away the fender is filled with epoxy resin to reinforce the rear quarter panel.

I stole this pic from Tommy GoTuning (let me know if you want it removed).

As I wrote on the pic, I think this will fit on the car, but the rear side of the flare will hang over the stock quarterpanel and finish on the bumper part. If I make a mold of the piece, and then build up the mold about a CM it may hang right. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Pardon my ignorance, but what side skirts are these?

Did my overfenders this past Tues. It too me 3 hours to do the first one including rivets and all. 1 hour to get up the nerve to cut my fenders and 2 hours to do the work. Second one took 1 hour. It was well worth it.
