I thank guys like this who start threads about their experience with vendors. If i saw threads like this before i spent my hard earned cash on my replica lip, i would have reconsidered. Doesn't everyone agree that when buying anything, it should work or fit?

And to all the **** *****ing about the knock-off market: I bet you guys own nothing but name brand top shelf type ****, huh?
Keep buying your cheap crap. We dont care. Its your car. I dont have to hide my cheap crap behind the quality names.......if you really stood behind the stuff you bought, you would keep the original name on it right?????

Hey, if we're going to turn this into a whiny ***** party, we might as well go all out.

All I know is my GP Front Bumper from Street Concepts was one of the best fitting [knock off] body kits Ive ever seen.
Maybe you got a bad one - Maybe there's something else wrong - Bottom line, going public and 'bashing' should be a last resort.
Anyhow, good luck getting this resolved - Give them a call.

I think the issue here is that people expectations exceed what they are willing to pay for. If you wanted it to be a flawless fit the first time, you should have purchased the authentic bumper. Alot of people have had sucess with the Heru's bumpers, but im sure there is the occasional piece thats fitment is less then satisfactory, however he seems more then willing to make the situation right

any bumper can be made to fit perfectly as long as the body shop knows what they are doing, i had a copy veilside bumper on my fto, was such a bad fit out thr box that the gaps for the front fogs were not even half the size of the fogs, there was no way i though that bumper was gonna fit at all, after a couple of hours of prep work the bumper which cost me a quart of the price of the original fitted perfectly, yes it cost probably the same as i bought it for to fit properly but hell it fitted better than oem!
the same goes to every fiberglass bumper on the market, for those of you in the know the only difference in quality is in the bodyshops hands!, every bumper is different, some may fit perfect without any work some may need a lot of work but granted with the right bidy shop it will fit perfectly.

This has been gone over before with StreetConcepts. Everyone that is not happy jumps the gun and gets on here and bashes these guys.
***NEWS FLASH***
If your not happy with you purchase Heru has said many times that he will make it right. There is no reason what so ever to post stuff like this when the guy is willing to make it right for you. Get in touch with him over the phone or PM him and it will be resolved. I wasn't happy with my first lip I got and PM'ed him about it. He sent me a new one the next week that fit and looked 10 times better.
Even after posting this kind of garbage on here he is till up for helping you when all your doing is steering customers and business away.
THese guys are doing alot of good things for the EVO community by making cheaper alternatives for us to buy. Of course things happen, and things get messed up. Getting on here and complaining abou it will not fix your problem. Contacting Heru will though.
Good luck with getting everything fixed and everything worked out.
