So I know you authentic lovers despise this route but i'm a starving college student so it was the better alternative.

I've been a ASM head for ages and I loved the look even before i bought the car but the prices for parts pushed me away even years after i became an owner. I thought of many different routes to go in favor of affordability, Shine, VIS, even happened upon a POS "WITZ" bumper for pennies that turned out to horrifying. Then finally after a few years, Forcewerkz came out and i heard many good things about their fitments on the CR lips and seen first hand at how good they were so i pulled the trigger and went for their new ASM style + lip bumper in polyurethane. At first the test fit was kind of sketch, the lines were great but the eyelets needed shaving, (this was already told to me by UNION PERFORMANCE) so I sent it over to DTM Autobody where i've been to a few times and Leland assured me he can get it perfect. A few days gone and this is what i ended up with.

Sorry for the amateur photography




Overall i'm happy with the product, its extremely flexible and shock absorbent and the fit is on point. I definitely have no complaints for a 500 dollar bumper + lip combo vs. shines 450+300 or authentics 1000+ bumpers. It was a great decision on my part and DTM + UNION PERFORMANCE really helped me out.

Let me know what you guys think! I've been dying to whore some pictures out

 

Looks good from here... Glad it work out for you.

 

Awesome, it DOES look good. I was worried that this was gonna turn into a horror story of an ill fitting product. I bought an authentic J's racing front bumper and paid $1,400 before shipping and painting. I had it for a few months before it got damaged when I hit debris on a highway. Yah it was a perfect product, but sometimes replicas just make more sense...

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, I was on the fence about the fit at first too but it just surprised me with the end product. Pretty solid company if the rest of their products are as good as their asm bumper and their cr lips. Kind of keen on trying some of their carbon works now too. #budgetballing LOL

I completely agree, and by my track record and ridiculous driveway, I was bound to scrape up and destroy any bumper i buy at some point so this was definitely a good tradeoff.

 

Looks good as fck! Just lower the car a bit and it'll be perfect!

 

Could you take some close up pictures of fitment around the whole bumper. I'm very tempted to buy this setup from them. If you don't mind me asking how much did paint and install set you back

How much did you end up spending with paint and labor, I might just get a new bumper since my lip is really scratched up.

 

I was quoted 400-500 which was a standard and reasonable price. Here are a few extra pics for you guys.




reply to s132nr: the lines are pretty good as you can see in these pictures, and if you notice a slight discoloration lol thats only the lighting so don't worry

 

Do you have any issues with the bumper drooping?

 

No drooping! The zip tie you see in my front grill is just to hold up my rubber under panel piece that blocks debris.
