Default Ebay ISF front bumper fitment w/ pics **finished prod pg 4**

**Updated Pics on Page 4

Long story short, I hit a deer last week and needed to have my hood fixed, decided to get a new front bumper and will respray the whole front of the car.

My front bumper was pretty beat, so i decided to give an ebay ISF replica bumper a shot. Total shipped was ab $600, since i have parking sensors and washers.
I still have some work to do, but overall the fitment is pretty good. I have not heated it up or messed with it all that much. Pics are from me slapping it on, and bolting it up, 20 min tops.
I think it lined up well. I still need to put in the parking sensors and headlight washers, but here you go. I will update with more pics as i have time to get it right and then again after paint.

Nice, glad the fitment was good. Did the eBay deal come with the grills and foglights as well?

Yea came with upper and lower grills plus new fogs.

Always a gamble why it comes to ebay, but I lucked out this time.

A lot of CL members have bought from option racing and the fitment seems pretty decent each time.

I see no deer damage...almost seems like you hit that deer on purpose

Yea fitment is great for the price, no complaints here.

Surprisingly the damage was not all that bad. Mostly the hood was dented up. Had a PDR buddy of mine spend all day on the hood and got everything out. Only bad part was that it cracked the paint on the hood. So a skim coat, sanding and some paint ill be good to go. Hitting a deer was not fun, but I got lucky the damage was all cosmetic, and I get a new bumper and respray taking out some rock chips in the front

Nice nice!
Does it come with plastic covers for the sensor holes since you don't have headlight washers to begin with?

It does. But I actually have the washers and parking sensor options. I have to pull the bumper off and bolt it up. This was a pretty much a test fit before paint to see if/how much the bumper was off.

Sweet. Now you are just missing: Wider Fenders, Different Hood, Different Rear Bumper, 5.0 416hp V8, 8spd trans, different front knuckles, different brakes and rotors, different interior seats, Limited Slip Differential, Different Suspension, and forged BBS Wheels!

Like the bumper, but is it me or do the pics show the fitment under the headlights is kinda wavy and not tucked under like factory.

Haha, I knew one of these comments would show up.

Ill make sure I put a ton of "F" badges all over my car and maybe some stickers to fake people out

Just like the look of this bumper over my OEM one and wanted a change bc I had to replace it from my wreck. Not posing as an ISF. Trust me if I wanted an isf I would have bought one...

Why does everyone get their panties in a bunch over this?

Still need to mess with it. These pics are right out of the box. Just wanted to show how the fitment was with no modifications
