ASM polyurethane w/ Molded lip Replica: ForceWerkz Review
I finally received my Front ASM polyurethane bumper by Forcewerkz today 2-7-14, ordered 1-24-14. The packing was decent and just a bumper and a box. There were no peanuts or anything to cushion the bumper for that matter. Considering since it polyurethane it can withstand impact and such. After unboxing it appears to be in good shape, and had premolded bumper holes. Which made mounting it a bit a breeze.

then the test fit was great, granted as stated in the ad, they left some extra material to be shaven off since not all cars are the same for fitment.
the only issue i had was by the place where the hood meets the bumper passenger side. I rather shave off then add materials to the bumper. Also on the passenger side, seem it have been over cut. You can see in the photos. Other then that only thing i needed to do was drill the holes to mount the bumper.

after the fitment was finished. i dropped it off to be painted, i specifically asked the painter to sand down the lines in the side vents. I even marked it with arrows and etc. Sadly when i went to pick the bumper, the painter failed and did not sand down the line as requested. So i end up only paying $100 for the paint job then paying full price.

installed bumper and looks great! kept and used all my OEM mounting hardware, even my crash bar. I would recommend this bumper for anyone. from daily to possibly track.

I got the same bumper from same vendor.. I had my car vinyl wrapped last Friday/Saturday and I had to remove bumper and headlights for wrap install... im having trouble re-installing bumper. I originally had the lip painted gloss black by a body shop and they did a good job with install (fitment was 8/9ish out of 10).. now that im trying to put bumper on myself, I have to be careful with bumper as to not damage vinyl on fenders or bumper when installing..
my problem is that I can get the bumper centered but the corners where it attaches to fender, the corners are hard to pull into place. any particular way you installed the bumper? also, I have an ap1 as well

that looks good!
i had considered building a splitter for the asm/lip setup, but being that the slop on the lower lip curves back and down, placing a splitter under it felt like i would be disrupting air flow and creating excess drag. for that reason i chose the amuse style bumper to build the splitter off of.
anyway, looks awesome, now get the hood!
