Default Re: Shogun Front Bumper

As Murcielago said my bumper is stock for a 99 3000GT. There was no massaging that needed done or any fitment issues.

The shit Andy's sells is knock offs of knock offs. As I said you get what you pay for.

Before I put the 99 front on I had an Extreme Dimensions kit on my car. It fit damn near perfect. Why? Because I spent more money on that kit than most people would like to know about. The only modification I had to do was cut my stock crash bar as the bumper would not fit around it.

In my opinion the bumper you chose is the absolute most hideous bumper available for the 3s. You already spent $200 on the bumper, I bet another $150 on shipping, and its going to most likely cost $300-$400 to get it to fit properly (labor isnt cheap), and THEN you are still going to have to get it painted you are going to have an ugly (again thats my opinion and most of 3si's) expensive front bumper.

Why ruin stock body lines? I am not a personal fan of first gens myself because I dont like pop ups but the stock front bumper absolutely blows that one out of the water in the looks department.

Also, fiberglass bumpers are a target for absuse. It doesn't matter how much you are careful you will crack it on something.

My opinion is to cut your losses and sell the bumper to someone (Informing them of the poor fitment issues of course) and keep your stock bumper. Your sanity will thank you.
