Ok so I've decided that I am going to go with the Carlsson RS. One question tho...the headlight washers? Does it have cutout for the washers already or what? Can someone who has one let me know? Thanks lots guys.

 

ur guna hafta get ur bodyshop ta make the cutouts...

 

where do you plan on getting the carlsson bumber from?

 

after looking at it thats what I kinda figured. I just wanted to make sure. besides that, how was the fitment? did they have to do alot of adjusting to fit it nicely on your car?

 

from a local exotic shop here in oregon.

 

gluck wit the fitment on that...the only 1 that ppl have seemed ta get ta fit on decently i felix's which isnt so great either.... he had ta do sum modification on it and at the end its a pretty good job i guess except for the gap between the grille and the bumper that every1 seems to have.... just chek out the thread "carlsson bumper group buy" ...

 

the best fitting replica was the evosport one that i have, after that its felix's , but its not that geat, evosport one was sooo much better, but it has the europlate, i still have both, and the evosport was by far the best, if anything happens to the current one, i might put my old carlsson rs bumper back on, and i know it fits right, just need to get it repainted .

 

evosport distributes carlsson replica bumpers? how much do they charge?

 

To be honest - all of them suck fittment wise (even the original kit didn't fit perfectly). If you want it to look perfect and still have the washer holes, you have to cut off the lower half of the kit and have it molded on to your OEM bumper. I did it so I could get rid of the plate mount on the replica bumper and keep my impact strips. A nice side effect: even upon super close inspection the bumpers fit like OEM.

 

ick. all sounds like to much hassle. I rather only spend a grand on replacing/repainting the front bumper and for repair/repaint for the rear bumper and use the rest of my money for other things.

anyhoo i know of a replica for $350

 

josh is right, his way is the best, but it does cost a lot to do all that custom work and molding the replica to the OEM bumper, but it does ensure OEM fittment. I think josh and ahmad have gone this route. either way, it is expensive...so think about if you want to go down this slippery slope.

 

Can someone please pm me either where to get the Felix replica or the "best" fitting one in the U.S.? I also need the foglights info etc.

Thanks all =( Been searching like crazy but only three year old posts come up.
