The quality I assure you will be top class. No cheap stuff!

As for ETA, we need about a month. First week of May... Doesn't look like we will run into any issues along the way. Clear sailing!

I will try and post some pictures to show you guys of the progress in about 2 weeks.

Thanks for your support and interest!!!

Most encouraging info

I've been holding off new bumper for my pre-LCI E92 waiting on this

I know you stated these will be for both LCI & Pre - LCI prolly coming out/available 1st - how much longer after that for a Pre-LCI version?
I assume an entirely different mold has to be made for each?
What material are you using for final bumpers?

Will it be ABS, polyurethane, or FRP?
Hoping for the best, obviously. I want to be one of the first, so let me know when you're ready. I may even put a deposit on the first one or so.
PM me more info if you can.. Price, quality, style, what comes with it, etc.

WOW this looks amazing, easily one of the best bumpers I've ever seen. I'd be down for one for an E90 LCI, if you ever make one. Keep up the great work, I'd love to see how it turns out.

sub'd! might have to replace my front bumper if this comes out!

The question is if it'll be reasonably priced or if it's going to be jacked up like every other bumper for these cars. Polyurethane isn't exactly the most expensive material - it's pretty common to see PU bumpers for other cars brand new and shipped for under $100. We just get slammed because ours happen to be for a BMW.

I'd say $100 is a bit drastic, but maybe around $500 sounds reasonable.
Considering the rest are around $1000. I'd say we have a good shot. Now if it was ABS plastic, and OEM fitting... man.... These would sell like hot cakes.

I just hope we can do this and someone can create a lip for it.

I would 100% be interested for an e90 LCI bumper, keep up the good work!

According to OP this will come with a lip. Granted I skipped about two pages of updates so I don't know if anything has changed.

In any event this is total awesome-sauce

Am I reading this thread right? No updates in over a month? Guessing this is dead or has become private. Anyone have any news?

I hope this is not what customer service is going to be like.

Guessing this hit a snag.

OP hasn't been on since 3/29.
