I am looking into gettimg a 95SE but I wanted on of these bumpers. I think I would be better off getting an SVT bumper and making my own if they need that much work.

Well I got a great deal on this bumper. I see what you mean buy it needs work but I don't think it is as bad as you all make it sound. I don't know who the body man was that spent 40 hours working on the bumper (was he blind?) I think I could have it mounted and ready to paint in less the 5 hours and I'm not a body guy.

5 if he rushes it but between all of the triming the fog light holes etc,filling in all of the tiny pin holes....some of which you may not find until the paint is applied(found out) filling in the bigger holes,and from alomst three years of experience with the bumper reinforce the wheel well area as well as the bottom side,as it sits a little lower than the true svt bumper its is very prone to rubbing,and after awhile right through the bumper. But once its done it looks very good and isnt that ricey overkill like the survivor kit

i met him when i picked mine up, he really isnt that bad of a person i just think that whoever he paid to make these did a horrible job and he was stuck to sell them....if they were half the price i would buy another one just in case [censored]..........!!!!

micah was a nice guy, he really got dicked around on this group buy. i was in the very first one and it took 14 months or so for us to get our bumpers. between the company messing up time and time again, and then people bailing on the group buy leaving him to be responsible for the debt. he had to sell lots of his personal belongings just to pay for the bumpers. in the end, he was out lots of money, and didnt even to get a bumper either. i feel sorry for someone who was so willing to help others, then when things went bad, he got dumped on. espically for the quality of the bumpers, i knew when he told us they would need work, that they would need work. i even sent him my old bumper and hood off my car so he could see the bumper and fiberglas hood he had to me.
