Default Garage Defend Front Bumper

Anyone have any experience with the Garage Defend Front Bumper. I am looking at changing my stock one out. I want to make sure there wouldnt be any fitment issues. Any info on this bumper would be great.

PM AHHVTEC...Spugen used to have an S2K with the GD kit on it. I believe it was sold to someone in Texas.

I saw one of these in person at HIN in Philly on a GPW S.

The fitment on that car was HORRIBLE.

Just my $.02. I'm not saying that all the kits fit that way, or that a good body shop can't blend it better. But that one had horrible lines

I've seen it on 3 different cars and the fitment was perfect. Are you sure they one you saw wasn't a knock-off?

It's a friend of ours here in Houston.. the GD kit looked perfect on it. All the lines, curves, etc looked great. But then again it could have been modified by the body shop.

Dan,

No I'm not sure it wasn't a knock-off. The car was sporting a GD graphic but that doesn't mean anything I guess.

Please understand . . . . I think the design of the GD front looks very cool. That is why I was so disappointed that it didn't fit well.

I really don't remember honestly.

A few of the Mid-A members saw the car though and can at least verify the bumper we saw (knock-off or genuine) fit horribly.

The car was GPW and was all the way to the right side of HIN when you walked in. Over by Team Ultraspeed but NOT in their group.

That's all I really remember. Sorry man.
