Quick Info on Blitz Bumper, ... yes bad news :| Options

[Guest_Jason_*]

I hate being the Guinea Pig, but its kinda fun too.

Anyways, yesterday we spent the day examining, measuring, and mentally fitting the Blitz Bumper. The whole front is molded perfectly to fit our cars, infact it looks like its perfectly made for an Intercooler as well. The sides of the Blitz, the Fender area is extended off the body a little over an inch on each side. When lined up, it doesn't seem to match the fender flare much at all, and its a little off with lineing up in the wheel well. A guy who installed numerous kits for 7th gens, said it almost looks like they molded the fenders to match a 7th gen for them to complete front bumper conversions, hah! We decided to drop the whole project of installing it, and i'm just going to take it to my Body Shop guy and let him deal with it. This way I can get my rear in time, get everything installed and painted at once.

I'd be interested to know what mods need to be done to it in order for it to fit correctly.

yeah, let us know what has to be done to make it fit...that makes me very sad.

Jason that bumper is exactly what ive been looking for, ive tried contacting the company selling the bumper via email but no reply yet, did you ring them? Would you recommend them?

Whats your impression of the bumper quality, im like on the edge of buying the bumper if i can get in contact with company!

Im from the UK, we have nothing like that for my car over here, so dieing to get it imported!!!

But a bit dubious about the fitting, do you know whats going to be involved, like are you going to have to cut the fenders up and mould it all up?!

Hey evolve,
I have also been looking for this type of bumper.
Are you looking at a complete kit or just that bumper?
If you're going to import a kit or bumper I'd be interested?
(That is, if it works out cheaper).
I'm in France but my family is in the UK so picking it up wouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, let me know what you think (either here or PM me).

Would you believe it that I actually went to a performance shop last weekend and asked about body kits.
There are only 2 available: Erebuni Shogun or 404(A).
But get this, the price 1900-2300 EUROS...
(That's just the kit - NOT fitting).

Any 6GC stuff here in France is like rocking horse sh*t.

So hows the installation going Jason?
