New shoe-New butt :)

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 01:26 PM

So....Here are some photos of my new stuff. Nothing too extreme

Stance Sc1 Slate Grey (should have gone with titanium, more glossy)
20x9 front
20x10.5 rear
Sumitomo tires (I know it's not best but since it's in the set, I'll just upgrade after it worn out)

M sport rear bumper rep from europartsautostore (ebay)

I am usually scare of ebay stuff except some small stuff such as spoiler, grill...etc but since I was introduced to their warehouse personally so I gave it a try. Their parts, as stated, are from Taiwan, not china. Plus I saw some good review so I decided to pull a trigger

The bumper itself, I have to say perfect fit, somewhat tight fit (in a good way). The set come with everything needed. But I did not use their bracket. Since I have comfort access with trunk opening function, their bracket doesn't have the clips to hold the sensor, so I use my original bracket. Other than that, it's fine. Did I have any issue? Yes. The issue was from the upgrade M performan diffuser (replica as well).

As you already know, the diffusser attached to the bumper by some clips going around itself. The issue was at two sides of the diffuser. Someone was stupid enough to design....well instead of the clips on both sides of the diffuser, it was only 3 piece of straight plastic (each side) that go through the clip holes of the bumper. As a result both end stick out (it cant hold the diffuser to the bumper) when I install the bumper on the car

Solution, we used heat gun to heat those plastic pieces and bended it backward to create something to hold the diffuser to the bumper. Then my shop put on this liquid gel on those spots. Per my shop, that stuff when it dried, it will be so tough that you can't take the diffuser out unless u cut it. It will hold the diffuser with the bumper as those are 1 piece. Well since I decided not to go with quad exhaust (too much work even thou i know it's awesome), so I'm ok with that solution. For those who want to go this route (replica bumper with different diffuser), please make sure you don't buy the diffuser from this seller. It's...dumb.

Overall, really happy with the result in my case.

looks good, gonna lower it ?
Offsets ?

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 02:34 PM

No idea of offset. I won't lower for a while, til warranty over or until my mod bug kicking too bad

Bobby_Drake · 06-20-2015, 02:40 PM

The more you surf this forum and look at your car, you will eventually lower it before your warranty expires.

Your car looks amazing BTW.

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 02:47 PM

I know I know...It's so tempted lol

silpherx · 06-20-2015, 02:57 PM

Looking good man I definitely considered those rims too when i was searching. I'll make sure to holler if i see you around in the oc.

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 03:11 PM

Your rims are better in quality and aggressiveness. I was considering that at first too

lsturbointeg · 06-20-2015, 03:39 PM

Damn! U got ur rear bumper before me LOL! Looks really good!

the diffuser Looks really good too! I don't see any gap issues! Alright... what's next on the mods to-do list since ur not planning on lowering it? Maybe MTECH side skirts with the skirt extensions? That'll really complete the look!

Yeah no gap issue beside the diffuser issue which is solved. You already order the OEM rear?

Idk what mod to do next yet, i was very close to getting the side skirt too....since that same seller is giving me a good price but then i decided to get the wheels first.

Thinking of vinyl wrapping my spoiler gloss black to match with the diffuser today but kinda lazy now. Hot outside

lsturbointeg · 06-20-2015, 08:25 PM

Get the side skirts done. Some people don't think it makes a difference but it does. Pair it with some skirt extensions and you'll be happy! Go with those eBay extensions for $120...

mike@x-ph.com · 06-20-2015, 10:38 PM

Looking good, congrats!!

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 11:23 PM

I like it. At first the main reason i got it was because i want to cover some imperfection of the bottom of my replica front bumper but now i'm glad i got it. Look nice and clean
