BS Style Front Bumper on eBay

I've been thinking about either getting a Revozport front bumper or an Arkym front lip for my current bumper. I stumbled upon this bumper on ebay. I'm not too fond of the Aero or Track Package thingies, but I do like the fact that it has no fog lights and the carbon fiber front lip.

Has anyone ever heard of this product before or maybe even purchased/installed it? Thanks.

the rear looks terrible to me. might look better if it was an actual widebody. only thing really holding me back right now is:

We want all customers to know that there will always be minor sanding, shaving, cutting, and/or filling prior to installing FRP (fiberglass) parts. The primer finish must be sanded and other prep work will be required prior to painting. Fiberglass parts are hand made, they are not machine made and therefore not perfect.


is this always the case or does this mean it will have crappy fitment?

It just means you'll have more prep work to do before getting it painted or installed.
Overall i don't really like it. As you said unless you have a wide bodykit it might look ok.

Don't do it. A C63 looks better with an OEM bumper and an aftermarket lip.
This will look cheap...

You have a sick car - don't try to make it look like something it's not.

^^ I agree, fiberglass bumper is very brittle.. It will crack if u sneeze. Lol Always buy poly-urethane bumper which is a more forgiven & flexible material.

Tim, I doubt the seller in NY has them in stock.. Most of the time, they sell it then ship it from China straight to the customer.

Interesting find but it looks really off to me without the fenders.

That is about true of all FRP type products. They are upfront which is a good sign. I hate FRP products because in order to make it smooth, there is a LOT of prep work prior to painting to ensure a smooth surface. For a front bumper, I'd prefer urethane which is a little more forgiving when bottoming-out and more resistance to paint chipping from flying debris.
