Default Has anyone used any of IFC's stuff

Was looking at a few of their items and was wondering how the quality and fit was, or if anyone has has any positives or negatives to say. I've had bad experience in the past with fiberglass stuff on other cars.

I've used their headlight delete nose panel. It wasn't concours quality, but it fit resonably well without a lot of work. I can't say that about anyone else's fiberglass work.
Except Joe Toth's pieces, they are the best I've seen.

I used their wide body quarter panels and they were nice, Like any fiberglass it needed some work but overall quality was good.

I am considering their rear bumper, I welded the holes shut in mine and did the same with the end caps but I thought about buying their bumper for something a little different. I wasn't sure if finishing my smooth rear bumper would be more work than installing theirs

I have the IFC rear bumper on my n/a car, which I purchased before they integrated the mounts with the bumper. Before you had to buy the bumper and the mounts separate, and attach them together yourself. Simple enough for me, and the bumper fitment is excellent.
As of now I believe when you buy the bumper, the mounting brackets are already attached, so hopefully they will be positioned right to fit (and I'm sure they will be).

My color matching skills make the ends seem a little off, but here's a pic anyway.

Thanks!

Also forgot to mention, Mike Warner from IFC was extremely helpful in communicating with me through my ebay purchase and made sure I was happy with his product. If you order his parts and have any issues I'm sure he will be glad to do what he can to help you out, even if you need to return his parts.

I have used IFC, AIR, GT racing and rennspeed parts. I would rate thier quality in the same order. IFC was the only one that made nice parts, the others were a joke. MA Shaw is the only other company that puts out a respectable product.

I have also dealt with Mike and he's a real nice guy. So long as you get him before hunting season and other distractions you'll get the best quality parts currently available.
I got him to make up a vented nose panel. I think he now sells this on his site. I didn't end up using it and would give it away except it's down here in Sydney...if anyone's coming down for a holiday give me a call.

Just looking at Elliott's cracking red car, the first change I'd do with a US car is that bumper. That's the worst thing about the US cars and it's nice to see you have an option to tidy that area up.

Where is IFC at? Can't be much further from me if it's close to you.
