Did CONSTRUCT ever mentioned to the buyer that the bumper is SHORT to the splash guard though?
To OP, IMO I would not even bother to buy this bumper if the kidney grilles are NOT going to fit. How cheap was this bumper anyways? $200 shipped?? Damn...

I KNEW that all the holes had to be drilled..no problems with that, its easy. I was not told about the bottom of the bumper being 6 inches short and not able to be bolted to the heat shield. I asked SEVERAL times before buying if fitment was perfect. I was told yes over and over again to the point where I felt comfortable buying. I think the pics speak for themselves, the bumper is JUNK. Its a $150 ebay type bumper..maybe worse. I dont have pics of the fender liners yet, but they CAN NOT be screwed into the bumper..its impossible. You know the lip that the oem bumper has where the liners screw in? Well this bumper doesnt have them. Fender liners are hanging by a thread and rubbing on the tires almost constantly.

You sold me a bumper that you knew had fitment issues?? Are you kidding? You told me in Pm's that fitment was perfect, except that the holes needed to be drilled, which is common on aftermarket bumpers. If its not for sale and was deemed not good enough for resale then why the FUCK did you sell it to me> You're a scumbag, I want my money back, or a bumper that fits.

I had my DTM M5 bumper installed by me and a friend of mine before and yes that bumper was also missing the two holes on the sides to secure the fender liners. But still, I secured my liners with the drilled holes at the bottom of the bumper, the one next to the brake ducts, the one on top and the one behind the wheels. Here are the pics for the bumper.
IMO, the liners are not an issue but the bottom length of the bumper is. My DTM bumper was not short by any mean. Someone is lying... Quote:

whats to lie about? I think the pictures are pretty clear. This bumper was sold to me with 100% perfect fitment guarantee..now I find out he sold me a bumper that was deemed unfit for his vendors to sell because of bad fitment..he said so himself, how much more clear does it need to be?

How would you like me to prove that? His website and all his ads on e90 claim perfect fitment..how was I to know any different. He said fitment was just like OEM except that the holes had to be drilled for the grills..I was never told ANYTHING about the other issues. Its not like that 6 inch gap is just a small oversight. Nor is the fact that there is nowhere to screw the fender liners in..

I was fully aware that the holes needed to be drilled, etc. and I was fine with that. That is the only thing he told me. I DID NOT know that this was a one off, reject bumper with that kind of fitment. I honestly cant believe he came on here and admitted that he knowingly sold me a bumper that had serious fitment problems. I would like to see some proof from him proving that he mentioned any of these problems..This is all a lost cause anyway because ConstructAuto could care less and is not going to fix the problem; so I might as well make the best of it..I have alot of money in this bumper.

This is from Construct's Advertisement for this bumper..Guess no one ever test fit mine huh peter??
"We are very proud of how they fit and take extra attention to making sure that they get test fitted when we get them from our manufacturer. Funny enough, some of our replicas fit better then the originals." |

"Guaranteed perfect fitment"? That's a strong word.. so if the product is not perfect fitment, then the vendor should guarantee satisfaction to the consumer with their money back or some other way of fully satisfying the buyer.
600bumper+(300paint+500install/modification/labor)?!?! Wow that's BS.. seems like your bodyshop is ripping you off too.
