Slidealliance     $ 0.00 Body Tune is ITG now. Their crap should fit. Check on EBAY, they have a store under Body Tune, if they stuff doesnt fit, bitch about it and they will try to fix it. Negative feedback helps with that

MR2TRD1     $ 0.00 I would strongly urge you to buy a fiberglass bumper UNLESS you are guaranteed of exact fitment with urethane. Once you have a urethane bumper there really isn't much you can do to change the shape and fit. Fiberglass bumpers provide a base upon which a good body man can build a perfectly fitting bumper.

Now I've had both. A truck tire recap ripped off my replica fiberglass bumper which had well over 50hours of fitting, cutting, trimming, and building up in certain areas to make it look like it was OEM. I was so ticked at how it held up I went and bought a urethane Border. Granted it doesn't fit nearly as well, but its also been through at least 2 tire incidents I can remember on the interstate and still have the paint in tact with only minor spiderwebs.

Urethane for daily use and longevity

Fiberglass if you want to spend the money and have a perfect fit.


By the way urethane takes just as much prep. They cannot just prime it. All the pinholes must be filled and re-filled until the bumper accepts paints instead of absorbing it.

tow truck
my fault
ex gf
Jeep


The jeep one was REALLY bad because it was actually my REAL border bumper that was on the car. Say goodbye to a $1200 piece of fiberglass

I was so mad that I drop kicked the other side of the bumper, ripped off a piece and threw it at the driver of the jeep, and filled out the police papers on another piece that I ripped off -not funny actually

AFBujinkan     $ 0.00 At this point, the time may have come for a different bumper. You and border don't seem to get along very well. "My lugnuts require more torque than your Honda makes." -- My bro
