Anyone bought a M3 rep bumper from "The Carbon Store". I am interested in this especially since it is already painted. Chime in please!

late bump?

I'd ask a few questions first because i didn't think that any lips fit the rep bumpers.

I saw that not too long ago, and I did a search on here for that ACS lip. A thread from a year or two comes up, and the guy used the exact same picture set.

The issue in that thread was that the guy said it didn't come with a lot of pieces, and you needed to get some different OEM parts to make it fit

I'll try to source that thread...but I was considering the same since it came painted

you will need the m3 L&R air duct, mesh, and i think the mtech extended undertray to complete this setup

It appears to be the same bumper that the rest of the vendors on here sell, minus the fogs and mesh. I think it's sweet that it comes with the fog delete, don't have to have ugly cutting edges!

As for parts needed, you don't need anything unless you want mesh. You can make your stock undercarraige work but it's a pain. The M3 brake ducts are only for looks, which helps clean it up some but will serve no functional use (our ducts stock are not functional unless you consider blowing air on the tire a good thing).

As for being pre-painted, this is a scary thing. I bought mine from Jay@modprojekt pre-painted and it was spot on perfect, but you never know what you get from ebay.

It’s actually a little different. I have seen this in person and hate it, it is rounded and looked bloated. My rep has clean cut lines that flow with the body, and this looks like rounded edges once painted. I personally don’t like this one at all. Looks cheap IMHO.
