I really don't hate this bumper but I think the fact that only a straight on front view is shown speaks to the fact that it really doesn't compliment the lines of the Z4 very well.

It would be fine if all the ducts did something, otherwise you just look like a ford mustang full of fake scoops.

I like it but like they some one mention it does not have the lines to go with our car, it does not look like the best investment to do at the moment hopefully they improve it. I don't even see the tow hole. But i do like it the look of the bumper.

must see more shots! if its the same bumper we have seen on other threads it looks fantastic!

and yes haters gonna hate cause it looks way better than stock or face lift or M




as far as the ducts being functional we have all seen how that's done on other threads. even the M bumper ducts air into the tires and not the brakes.

Just did a search on google for as low as 550 shipped, so I wonder what kind of quality we are going to get.

Exactly design is great, but don't know if if is a choice to invest on. Would like to see some one giving it a shot first and share some photos.

I'm not a real fan of after market bumpers but this does not look bad at all.

There's another thread going on this.
I have terminal road rash, and have been looking into options.
I emailed them asking about the tow hook hole, and they never replied.
And lord knows what about the brake ducts.

Also, what are you going to do with the under splash guards and trim pieces? I'm sure the OE won't fit that bumper

Lots of unknown unknowns.
We'll see how it works out for newbizie.
eBay says only 2 left, so if it works out for newbizie, only one other of us gets a go.
Lightning round.

There also one for $559 with a best offer option +165 for shipping on there as well it says there are 10+ left so if the fitment is right and everything comes as advertised hope is not lost for the select few that like this bumper, as with trim pieces and ducts i minimally use my car for scca races unlike the ///M guys and whatever doesnt fit im pretty sure i come up with something im not expecting this to be stock come on guys it made by a company we have never heard before if it were dinan ect i would expect more i just want it to bolt up to the holes without a 2" gap around the headlights
