So I have been casually looking at replacing my front bumper. Came across the Type TSI front bumper, which I have seen before but never at this price. Especially considering the place on that 2nd link is like 3x the price. Too good to be true? just looking for some input. any additional suggestions are always apprecaited
oh, and one reason I did like this in particular is I really wanted to order the front grill like Adrain has but it seemed a bit pricy. Looks to be a integrated on this bumper

Since this is a Top Secret replica, I would worry about fitment issues.....Because even if you did get it cheap, it may take so much money to make it fit perfect at the body shop, that you could've gotten the authentic cheaper in the long run

Too aggressive for a stock car in my opinion...save up and get wheels first :cool:

yeah wheels are actually happening soon, this is just a casual looking. I am just considering a few options and had not really looked into this one much at all. definitely agree though, too aggressive right now

if the place cant spell infinitI right then i wont buy from them. and i agree that its too agressive without wheels
and to be honest i think that the topspeed has to be my least fav bumper, i prefer stock over TS

No, replica. from Klumzyee.
You REALLY have to mess with it. At first it fit like crap, but after a bit of manipulation, it's fitting better now. The one thing is up by where the grille and the hood meet, it touches the hood on the very corners. Why? because they made the plastic REALLY THICK so that it won't warp. I'm considering using a nut.washer.bolt attachment to hold it down in place.
The other thing is you should cut out by the tow hook attachment point. It is made so that you would have to cut that off to get the duct area to fit nicely.
