Description:
Hi I’m from Los Angeles and I’m looking for a front 99 spec bumper local pick up prefer cab drive a few hours to pick one up if it’s nice pm or text me at 3102514149
I imported and then installed a complete genuine '99 front bumper with all the clips, fixings, etc years ago. Fitment was excellent as to be expected.
Since then, I have seen many replica bumpers. I can say with absolute certainty that they are not equally comparable in quality and will leave much to be desired imo. Plus, I personally will never support a company whose business model is to steal from the pockets of real tuner companies who actually developed a product.
Except taken from 2020 Super Street article:
"Replica parts offer the look and sometimes feel of the higher priced parts they're emulating yet leave an enthusiast with enough cash to put toward something else. For the purist, the feeling is that if you can't afford something from the groups creating these parts, then you should be patient, save up, and work toward them. Put aside the moral aspect for a moment, and the business portion of this doesn't help out the replica argument since the time and dollars invested in often costly R&D mixed with trial and error put forth by the originators is almost entirely skipped by the replica producer who then reaps the rewards. Some will scoff and say "tough ish," but if they were in a position to create something they poured their heart into, only to have it copied by some guy they'd never met before who was rolling in profits on their behalf, they'd no doubt change their outlook."
Hope this helped! Good luck
