Post 1 reason not to get f.g. bumper

Sorry to see that happen to your car but I've seen it before on all types of cars, even mines(77280Z). That's why I won't change my front bumper to f.g. on my sc400, but it looks sooo good. With the car lowered or not you will meet your match with a driveway. BTW glad to see the rims weren't damaged.

yea, i stopped by that meet around 9 and i didn't feel welcomed, hahaha, so many people just stared and it felt weird lolz

but yea, my side and rear skirt is repairable, i just don't wanna sidetrack and set myself back from what i plan to do next, so im holding off on that and just driving around with it, pretty ghetto

but yea, sucks how our kits are experiencing bad luck

na, it wasn't a lex meet, it's one of those weekly meets with "ricers" as well as some nice cars.....and you kno when you pull up, and people are all standing around staring, you just get one of those vibes like "wtf is everyone staring at"

I replaced my JIC bumpers twice, due to similar reasons as yours. And the exact same spot cracked on both occasions. When my first bumper cracked, I had the spot re-fiberglassed. Well... it lasted a month. If I were you, I would either replace the whole bumper or just drive around with it until you crack another spot.
