Thanks guys. Are there similar issues with the Amuse R1 Bumper? I just want to make sure I get something that fits right the first time without having to spend any extra money on just getting in on the car correctly.

my garage defend rear bumper came shitty as hell. the quality was crap. fitment was bad. my body shop had to do a lot on my rear bumper to get it to fit right. that being said i still loved it. and when this one got damaged i still have ordered another one....

I also have the GD rear and fitment isn't that good .
The quality isn't good . Its very thin and it will crack very easy .
That is for the rear .
But like blueS2000boy , i like it very much .

Hey FLOW, you have the Top Secret Bumper right? How do you feel about it. Was fitment good as well as quality?

I have the GD front, in my garage the FRP is thick as hell. The bumper weighs twice as much as OEM and the fit is perfect.

The TS front is very good quality and fitment is good .

@turbo_pwr i'm not saying the GD rear is bad quality , but compared with the TS front , the TS is much better .
The GD rear bumper is Thin , but thats not bad because you dont hit anything with the rear .
I somethimes hit ground with my front bumper , but the TS is very thick so it wont crack easy . If i would hit something with the GD rear i dont think it would live long .

But the fitment of the GD bumper wasn't bad , only at the rear lights it isn't 100% but the rest is good .

Not questioning you flow. I believe that it's not perfect, but not everything is in this world. I've just never had the problem with my GD that these guys are talking about.

would seriously like to know what you are basing this on. Do you have one? The GD front bumper is twice as heavy and thick as any of the other ones I have held. J's half bumper, Amuse Lip, Amuse R1 bumper, Cwest.
