has anybody seen the plateless 99spec bumper from jfracing? they actually use the same picture from chuck at rotary extreme. has anyone bought from them? it says perfect fitment/great quality and for only $225 + shipping. let me know what you all think.

 

got a website or link to it? more info please... thanks.

 

That the one that is currently on ebay? I've never heard of the company and for that price I would have to question the fitment / quality.

 

jfracing.com yeah i saw it on ebay. but they use the same pic as rotary extreme and guarantee fitment and all of that

 

im very interested in this, link? maybe ill be the guini pig

 

i went on their website and the bumper is not on there. but it is on ebay...i guess look for the seller jfracing on ebay and it will be there. for only 225 bucks...thats not bad at all.

 

how much was shipping?

 

Jesus Christ, they use another company's picture (without credit) and you think it's a legitimate deal?

Your generation needs to figure out that cheapest price does not equal best value. Besides...$225 bumper + $400 of prep work by the body shop to actually get the cheap thing to fit right/fix flaws, etc = $625 for cheap fiberglass bumper...

If you want a cheaper 99 plateless bumper, get the fiberglass one from Pettit. At least they're a known vendor and they support the RX-7 community. The Rotary Extreme one is polyurethane, just like the OEM bumper.

 

Don't blame an entire generation for trying to get a better deal - there is no such thing as loyalty in the US. Your generation started Wal-Mart we are just living the reality of China made goods for American prices.

Quality is not cheap. Unless you like green fuzzy dice and a cheetah steering wheel cover, which Wal-mart sells!

 

slow your role rynberg...i just bought an oem 99spec...im not worried about the price i simply asked what you guys thought about it. damn brotha...i wouldnt have posted if i thought id get accused of being cheap and trying to take the easy way out. and the one i just described is urethane. thats why i made this post.

 

Although I do agree with rynberg, but I have also heard of $1500 front bumpers not fitting well either. Here is an example, an aftermarket techart front bumper for a porsche cost 2.5k you need to spend another 800-1000 dollars to make it fit right. I do not agree that the more money a product is the better. Although, when something is so cheap I doubt the quality good be great. Chucks feed front bumper is great and had no fitting issues, and the real feed is more than twice what his costs....

 

yeah but he accused me of talking up a "fiberglass bumper" the whole reason for me making this post was because the jfracing bumper is indeed URETHANE. i dont like the fact that he accused me of wanting to take the easy way out...as a matter of fact ive just bought a real 99spec bumper, apexi sideskirts, and a carbon fiber mazdaspeed hood from atihun so i am far from taking a cheaper route. and he blames it on a generation...dont tell me their arent some oldtimers out there that are worse than some of the young guys. i simply saw this product, brought it to everyones attention and wanted to see what people thought of it.

 

FYI, you know there's no difference between the two re: fitment...both can fit horribly. In fact, urethane is a LOT more expensive to prep since you can't just sand down areas. You gotta SHAVE it down, and well... that's manual labor (as opposed to a mechanical sander). NO ONE likes doing that crap, so you'll love the quote you get

 

There is a land across the ocean that we call China where the labor and raw material are pennies on the dollar.

Some of the stuff you probably buy as "high quality" are probably made in China. They just require min. order of 100 to 200 per shipment.
