Nothing wrong with tryin to save some money, is there??
The baysonR rear I have seen, fit great. Thats why I am getting one. Plus I paint and can do any work needed to make it fit, so even if I have to put some work into it, I am saving some money!

Trying to be cheap? Look I was trying to save some because buying a painted OEM one didn't make much sense to me since I have to resand it down and I couldn't find a OEM unpainted. BaysonR also seemed to have a good reputation around here.
Guess I just didn't do my research enough. I already dropped the bumped off but i'll be sure to have the body shop guy take some good pics.

I've had mine from Baysonr for the last 3 years and everything is great. Fitment was perfect.
All parts that are going to be painted need to be prepped whether it OEM or aftermarket. Even OEM part come with scratches and blemishes
Also it shouldn't cost you any extra at the body shop. All poly bumpers(OEM, aftermarket) are flimsy especially rear bumper and are all prepped and painted the same way. I worked at a body shop. I did my bumper.

Its acutally the opposite Gary, once hes done with the bumper he will feel better about his car knowing he spent a quarter of what you did to get the same results.....its not being cheap its being smart. Now If you wanna spend $800 to get a "JDM" bumper, props to you.....on the other hand I believe never to cheap out on Performance Parts, thats a different story.

Like I just said on the other Baysonr thread...the bumper has all the part numbers and markings from mitsubishi molded into it. They must have gotten a hold of an old mold?
Gary: I believe the Baysonr bumper's quality is similar to the OEM one. The big difference is the Baysonr ones come a little dirty and greasy and VERY minimal extra sanding required.

So much douchbagery going on around this site it's pathetic.
If you can make it work and save money eff what others say. It's YOUR money and YOUR car. Some people just get pissed b/c your bumper will look just like his and you spent half the money he did and no one will notice how rich he is.

im just saying when you paid ahlf the cost then get mad when the product is not up to par going on a rage on the forum looking for nut swinging support for your half *** part buying spree expect to get this.
You pay half the amount then pay twice to get it fixed. = real part the first time.

Good to know this site isn't full of a-holes, the primary reason why I left the 350z forums.
Anyhow, the car is receiving a $5k GT-R pearl white paint job, it was Blue By You, so it didn't make sense to buy a already painted Weightless White or Wicked White bumper.
I understand that aftermarket bumpers have to be sanded down and prepped some but that floating box in there threw in some minor dents. Just looking out for other members.
Hopefully, fitment will not be an issue as some of you have stated.

Pics will speak when all is done. My first post was just in regards to the **** poor packaging. The whole bumper is going to get reinforced so it should be fine.

Dude 5k paint job? Woooptie Doo!
Pear white is pearl white. Your going to run around telling people its GTR white. Why not get replica paint? Maybe for half the cost?
