Little teaser :)



JLevi M3 Bumper + Authentic Vorsteiner Add-on.

Got this from my friend Tommy out in Cali but his shop did an awful job with the molding and whatnot. (he told me this prior to buying of course) We haven't been able to paint it yet due to lack of booth time but I suspect everything will be painted within the next few weeks. (more goodies)

Soooo, I took it to my guys and they were able to fix a lot of the cracked molding and reinforce the areas that didn't quite match up. Ultimately, I think I have the best possible molding job that could have been done.

There's a lot more to come and hope you guys like it.

So the m3 bumper from JSlevi doesnt just bolt on? it needs modification or something? Or was that something you had done for something else. Can you fill me in?

Yes, the JLevi isn't direct fit for the Vorsteiner lip but it's certainly feasible. Some shops might charge you a lot due to the time it takes to properly bondo and reinforce the weaker areas where it doesn't line up.

If you look at the bottom splitters of an OEM M3 bumper, it'd line up with those splitters without fail. But, for this bumper, it's slightly off and you can tell when you look at the bottom edges of my bumper. And that area, is specifically the problem areas. Everything else fits and lines up perfectly. Great solution if you want an M3 Bumper.

My molding guy just did a lot of fiberglass and bondo work then reinforced the other side with some more bondo and this 3M Window Sealant? Some black stuff that resembled Betalink but much much thicker. For those on the East Coast and are looking for this kind of custom work... I'd highly recommend my guy of course. Great prices!! PM me if you want to come down.




I'll try to get some pictures of the bumper from the other side so you can see what was done there.

It's a JLevi M3 Bumper, not an OEM one. So yea, it fits perfect.
