Rotary Extreme 99 Style Front Bumper Fittment

Title says it all. I like the way his bumper looks but it isn't OEM. I am worried about fittment. Has anyone installed this on there FD and if so were their any problems. Thank you.

Get a GOOD body/paint man who knows what he's doing, and knows how to putty/sand urethane, and will use all the appropriate fexible fillers and agents for the primer and paint.

Your results and standards may vary, but IMO it's not a bolt on factory part. My body guy is one of the best in the area, and he had a bit of a time with it. It looks pretty good, and I don't regret it... but...

Not bashing on RotaryExtreme, Chuck is a good guy. But replica body parts are never perfect. I have seen and test fit a GTC replica front, a CWest replica front, RE-A AD9 replica sides, Feed replica front fenders, a handful of replica hoods and a replica RE-A diffuser all from RotaryExtreme and in my opinion I have yet to be impressed. The quality of fitments and materials I've seen has been pretty poor. I have also test fit original body parts from Vertex and RE-A and the materials and fitment on both of those kits was superb... Maybe others have better luck with replica parts, but I think I've seen enough to convince me to always buy original.

Thats fine. but this is a custom part i guess...since the license plate holder has been removed...so in this case i guess rotary extreme is the only option..

btw i have a fc...so i dont even know why i am responding...
