Bought a RD sport rear bumper combo and fit sucks!

ducati955 · 07-07-2009, 10:49 PM

Had a pro painter/body owner take over 6 hours to try to get a good fit.. I called RD sport and they told me several times that it would fit perfect and not to worry.. I left them two messages and will call again tomorrow..

Its painted and installed.. its a nice bumper... BUT the carbon fiber was not flawless and had to be be polished and niether was the kevlar bumper.. It does look cool though.. Ill have some pics tomorrow.. The body guy said he can make it perfect, But he would need to play around with the brackets and cut some thing up, includuing the bumper whish was already trimmed..

The problem is that it does not tuck in right on the cornerof the taillights, the pix will explain.. If anyone has any experience with this please lmk.. I wish i would have ordered m tech... im gonna see what i have to do.....

e92.. and the guy went on about how good their molds are, lmao.. i just dont know if its worth to chop and modify brackets behind the bumper.. my guy said he can make it fit perfect, he'll need the car for a few days...

you guys think it looks good or what? i dont want it to be over board.. i still haven't looked at it enough yet... obviously would have to trade or sell this first,,,,

Craig@SupremePower · 07-08-2009, 10:32 PM

wow that sux man...

Kriston · 07-08-2009, 11:10 PM

That fitment is definately wayy off... Dunno if i would hack up my OEM parts to get it to fit properly.

GregL · 07-08-2009, 11:28 PM

Wow...that's annoying.

LACSTER · 07-09-2009, 12:20 AM

should be a simple fix i'd let your body shop tweak it a bit to fit. btw nice bumper

jpsimon · 07-09-2009, 12:26 AM

definitely an easy fix for a shop.

man that bumper looks sick!!

KkSc · 07-09-2009, 01:16 AM

fitment is really poor

!

shragon · 07-09-2009, 02:00 AM

yep, i also believe a good shop should be able to tweak the bumper to make it fit all right.

that rear bumper is nice, but def very aggressive. so imho, the rest of your car should have the mods to support it. if not, m-tech rear would be a better a choice.

phantome46 · 07-09-2009, 06:12 AM

i was thinking of having this bumper for my E93 but the fitment looks really bad? especially for a bumper that is so expensive?

Where did you source it from?

iheartsole · 07-09-2009, 09:08 AM

damn that is bad fitment

Psylight · 07-09-2009, 09:41 AM

Bad fitment indeed, just have teh shop fix it.
