ChargeSpeed Front Bumper - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Efferalgan · 08-19-2014, 05:01 PM

Hi all. Finally received and installed a ChargeSpeed front bumper. Never saw a real life pictures of this one before installed mine, so now sharing with you guys.

Have to admit that fitment was (and still) bad around headlights, so some cutting had to be made, maybe because of long transportation (there also was a small fracture which had to be fixed), maybe for other reasons but overall paid for paint and install nearly the same amount as for the bumper itself (maybe I was fooled but it was not "bolt on" for sure). Being a perfectionist I'm now thinking about ordering another bumper of the same model (still think there is nothing better) just to be sure that I did not get a flawed one

As the design, I believe that this is the best overall bumper for the twins issued so far. Very functional in terms of airflow - perfect for HKS oil cooler. Bad ass looking etc. Of course if you don't need fog lights and have a BRZ or aftermarket headlights with intergrated turn signals.

looks great.

Looks great! One of my favorites by far - even better because aftermarket bumpers always make the front look so clean without the depression for the front emblem.

Did you take any pictures of the damage it had when you received it to whomever you purchased it from? If they have good customer service and you were really upset by it, maybe they could get you a new one, or at least offer you a discount on the one you ended up with.

I feel your pain with the perfectionism - I'm considered doing the same thing with my Modellista tail light covers since the adhesive tape they come with doesn't budge once you put it down - and now there is a small gap between one of them and the trunk - drives me nuts every time I see it even though no one else I've pointed it out to sees anything wrong with it.

GL with whatever you plan on doing with your car from here on out - I'm envious of your power-folding mirrors

looks great! Just need to spray the reservoir black so you cant see it.

Love the match of your car to the silver! It does remind me, however, of grey whale(?) teeth. (whale teeth bristles)
