Is this M-Tech Front Bumper too cheap?
Thinking about pulling the trigger on this front bumper, the price seems a little too low tho. What do you guys think? Wish it had more reviews.

That's a cheap bumper lip. Even if it will not fit well...It will not hurt your pocket. But that the seller has a good review though.

The aero lip is weak. Save your money and get M Sport bumper! Especially if you're going to spend more money getting it painted.

Maybe without the mesh grilles and fog lights and or a replica... It's closer to $1,000 before $200 freight shipping brand new at ECS. Maybe you can find one slightly cheaper, but at the end of the day, it's more than 10x the cost of this so it's not very comparable. Buy the lip, unless of course you've got $1,500 to spend getting an m tech bumper shipped and painted. |

I personally have seen the cheaper under $100 aero lips plenty of times, we get new suppliers send us samples quite frequently and trust me, you can definitely tell the them apart from the higher quality ones. Material is flimsy and not as strong, fitment is not as good (gaps, not reaching where it should, etc). Good thing is, if it's that cheap even if it fails completely you didn't burn too much of a hole in your pocket, but sometimes it better to spend a little more for something guaranteed than waste a little on something that isn't. Best, Jay |

Yeah if you want OEM and want to spend that cash... Or you can just a rep bumper that's fits perfectly fine and painted for between $800-$1000..
