Angry Darwin pro front bumper for sale 2015-2016

Hey guys, in case someone is looking for a custom front end for their 2015 2016 GT-GTS. I had a very tough time dealing with Hard Park Pro and FINALLY received this only to find out that they sent the wrong year bumper I cannot stress to you enough how much you should never deal with this company.
They would only take it back if it was unwrapped and kept in its shipping crate. It’s still unwrapped but had to get rid of the crate and break it down since it was too large to keep in the garage and still keep other cars in there. It was their way of not being responsible to take it back since I had to take it out of the crate to find out with the stickers on the bubble wrap to find out it was the wrong year. I don’t have time to wait till they grow a conscience so I am just going to sell it and deal with them online for now. My loss is your gain. The info is in the marketplace. I have not unwrapped it and you’re more than welcome to come by and do it yourself if you’re interested. Here is the marketplace link. https://mbworld.org/forums/market/800565
I am now looking at this, but no one has one in stock including Renntech and they told me they won’t have one for
6 months. But I’d be willing to trade for one. https://www.vividracing.com/renntech...151580715.html

Thanks in advance
Mike

I’m told by the manufacturer that it won’t fit, but was told it can be “modified” to fit, but I am not interested in modifying it.

Idk why they told you it wouldn't fit, especially considering you have a pre-face lift car, which this absolutely fits. I nearly pulled the trigger on this entire kit back in April, as it's one of the best out there imo.

Then I don’t know why they said that it would not fit. There are 2 different part numbers.
here is mine. 2015-2016 https://darwinproaero.com/products/m...31826353193057

here is the 2017-2020 https://darwinproaero.com/collection...32167859388513

GTC bumper = yes
GTR bumper = no

GTRs are wider on the front end (1.7") the front ends arent swappable with anything but a GTR specific fit.

GT/GTS/GTC all have the same front end fitment.

I thought the gtc was 3 inches wider? Or is that only in the rear?

GT/GTS/GTC are the same dimensions on the front end; GTR is wider in the front than them all. The GTR/GTC are the same measurements in the rear and wider than the GT/GTS design.

Hey guys. The bumper fit pretty well. The guys at the Darwin Pro were wrong and you guys were right. I appreciate the advice you guys gave. So thank you. I just wanted to let you know that your advice helped me try this as I would not have tried it if I listened to Darwin Pro.

Thanks guys
Mike

That's sexy. That bumper, plus the awesome side skirts, and a wing, absolutely transform the GT/S.
