I placed the order of front bumper w/ CFK and before it got delivered I had
to go out of country to get other things done. So I left my car at the bodyshop and asked the manager at the shop to paint and install the bumper while I was gone. Then I got a phone call from the bodyshop while I was in overseas complaining that CFK bumper's fitment is horrible and it wontfit. I called Scott (CFK's owner) immediately. We had along conversations and he somehow convinced me that his product works. So I had the bodyshop match paint the CFK bumper and put oem bumper back on. When I got back to the States, I picked up the CFK bumper and went to different bodyshop. All I've heard was the Same story with worst fitment. I called Scott for the last time being very upset and he offered me to have it installed from the cutom bodyworks that he knows. I didnt think it was going to work because it was already painted and had very little room to work with. They wiggled it for a while and installed it with no problem!!! Scott offered to pay the installation fee Im really happy with the bumper, more than my 3D(authentic) splitter. I would NOT say fitment is 100%(it's quite tight) but SUBPAR considering it being aftermarket piece. With installers that knows how to fit things well, I recogmend products from CFK.

good to hear that you got it installed properly. its not uncommon to have body shops that dont know how to install a certain part correctly, especially if its aftermarket since they probably never installed such a bumper on an m3 before.

I think I'm missing something here. You said you had a hard time getting it to fit, and that it's not 100%, and it's subpar, but then you say that you're satisfied with it? Just judging from the photos, it looks like fitment is spot on....so just making sure, but this is a positive review, right?

Cool, thanks for the review panbo. Wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just trying to make sure is all.
Damn fine looking bumper and a damn fine looking car. And for the record, I wish I was as good at my third language as you. Hard enough having a first and second. |
