Fiberglass Carlsson RS Front Bumper Fitment
Hey guys,
Just picked up a fiberglass carlsson rs front bumper. What do you guys think of the fitment? How much work do you think will need to go into it?

It look good already ......way better than stock !! A good bodyman can make the bumper fit perfect !!! What you need to do is bring the bumper to a good bodyshop and show them with it on the car and get a price quote !! good luck !!!

if you want it to fit right (especially around the lights) you'll have to mold the lower half on to your original front bumper. If you're not super picky, a good body guy can make it fit ok.

Do a search, this topic has been talked to death. The only way to get a perfect fit is to do what I did and mold the replica onto an OEM bumper so that everywhere it lines up to the body and around the lights is OEM. Doing it this way also lets you keep the collision foam and impact strip.
