Hey guys i just bought my ms bumper and picked it up today 3/22/12 and theres this lil chip on the driver side by the corner light and i was wondering if its necessary and or can it be reattached lol

umm... that is NOT a little chip. That is a completely broken part!

However, I don't think it's too critical. Just make sure that the screw is in tightly when you mount it

Cvzrx8

yeah i didnt want to say huge chip and be told i was exaggerating lol but yeah im a bummed though cause the bumper is expensive and theres that broken piece but i have it so maybe the body shop can reattach it or not needed but im just hoping that its not something so big that the bumper wont sit in there right ya know

So long as you can get a screw head around that you'll never know the difference. My corner light is jacked up too. But between the bumper, the insert, and the bolt, it's very secure.

Cvzrx8

pretty relieving lol just need to save up for the paint and mount this baby up n hope that it sits flush. But thats kinda shitty how that part of it is so weak makes me feel how strong the rest of the bumper is

ShadowRotor

MS makes quality stuff. After you save for the paint (and I can relate) the fit should be spot on. But yeah I really want a MS kit, but I have a VL.

Cvzrx8

Yeah and ms kits are getting really rare too!! When I ordered mine my dealer only found 3 in there dealer network and that was from the west coast in california so i was pretty lucky lol and VL as in Vertex Lang?

ShadowRotor

Yeah. And I was saying I can understand the waiting to paint, I'm in need of new sides, I found a pair, but haha, to order them I'd have to wait a while to install them.

I'm thinking about getting all the scratches sanded out and repainted when I send it in anyway.

Cvzrx8

Yeah that would be the best thing to do might as well get the scratches fixed haha but man vr is an expensive paint color lol

ShadowRotor

I can only imagine. BB isn't all that bad.

Cvzrx8

Lucky you haha

Cvzrx8

all the body shops tell me its a tri-coat so they need extra time and the paint is expensive lol

ShadowRotor

Dayum! Yeah, a tri-coat would take time. I'm sorry to here that. The downside to having a car as a hobby, plaything, whatever you wish to call it, is the ****'s expensive. Haha I hate that part.

Cvzrx8

yeah i know lol but its well worth it when everything is done and you really start to appreciate all that you did and the money you spent in it will seem irrelevant when your happy but you make a mistake you'll fill yourself with regret and start hating it lol im actually alway against what im going to buy im in that mind set so i actually go over it in my mind so many times until i actually go for it and then with so much thought i dont regret it

when mine got here it was broken off like that too. it doesn't matter, the bumper would hold up fine.

Dan507

i broke mine there from a slight drift accident and its fine.

Cvzrx8

Awesome!!! thanks guys i feel even better now the more ppl say its ok the more confident i am that it will fit and hold up perfectly :D
