Default Rep GT2 front Bumper

Has any one used or purchased any of these gt2 rep. bumpers? Supposedly they are made out of polyurethane, I really dont want to get a Fiber glass Bumper. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

its a nr poly bumper. you can buy it directly from them. any of these aftermarket bumpers are going to require some work for a good fitment

the issue with those bumpers are if you tag something or get tagged it doesnt flex at all. can be expensive to repair

it's all about money... the Carbon fiber version is cheaper and very light weight. Yes it's not very flexible but you can repair it.

I haven't yet, I just ordered a set of GT2 Air duct, will I have issue with their fitment at that point?

There's more than just the ducts for the setup to work properly

You will need to flip the radiator with extended coolant hoses, extend the rebar shocks by .360"PN 996-505-773-32. Then use the spacers for the duct with longer bolts 996-504-679-31. The radiator brackets will need a little bend 5-7° using an adjustable wrench to get the correct angle.

If you have access to a bridgeport and lathe let me know I can send you some sketches of the tube and standoffs needed in order to make it work.
