And they offer a paint match as well

They also have other parts available including the GT500 style rear valence either with or without chrome tips.
As well as side skirts, trunk spoiler to name a few.

Yup, been keeping an eye on them. I chatted with them in February and they also told me that they were bringing the GT500 hood to the 18+ models around April. This was before the outbreak though so who knows now.

There other companies sell the same parts half the price..for the rear valence with the chrome tips and the side skirts

Really like this . Looking to do one on a 15 that has the dreaded unfixable gap.
Also been looking for a bumper that will let me add an aftermarket oil cooler and looks like this may work since it has the open vent in front .

I like that this guys took the time to make the video .
Anyone have experience with them ?

No experience with them. I think the bumper is made from the same company but sold thru different venders. Do they offer to have it painted? If not Ikon Motorsports has an option to have it painted.

****Edit I see they do offer painting******

I looked on Ikon and did not see the pre-painted option (may be I did not look hard enough )

Do you know how much Ikon charges to have it painted ?

The link I Posted above is about $100 cheaper shipped and looks like $600 to paint . That sounds about right and what I paid to have the aftermarket one on my 18 painted locally .

Just a heads up, according to Ikon: "Unfortunately we currently are not offering custom painting." I'm assuming it's because of the current outbreak. When sending my replacement center piece I asked to pay extra for painting it gloss black and this was their response.

You have to ask them for the option of painting. I called them when I placed my order. The painting option was $600. Total was $1599 shipped free. Looks like they’ve stopped painting for the time being or stopped selling them altogether? Not sure.

just got mine in today, I ordered a few weeks back, painted parts were very well done! a bit of a mystery to put together all the loose parts and panels, but not too bad... paint was still soft and box still had smell of paint, so they must have pulled it from paint booth and shipped it asap!
I'll add more pictures and reviews as I get it all put together for those that are curious about install, look, fitment, etc...

anyone speed test this? after putting mine together, I'm wondering the speed tolerance of some of the panels.
I don't do 100+ often, but will be moving to Germany in a few months and the autobahn may have surprises for me and this bumper.
anyone attest to the speed limitations?

Haven't gotten to yet. Only had mine garaged 1 day before I damaged my door backing out of the garage. Been sitting ever since

So I'm waiting on Ikon to replace my center piece because they sent the stamped version to my shop instead of a blank like I asked. I also haven't replaced my stripe yet because of fresh paint, but here are a few shots and one with some photo enhancements of the future changes.

I have a little question. I noticed a difference between the two bumpers I've seen on your Mustang and Keiferson22's. On the picture attatched you can see some kind of different plastic, looks way better on your (red) than the black one, isn't it the same? Both bought of Ikon? Why does the plastic look cheap on the black one?

I'm about to order one from Ikon as well but I want my plastics to look like yours.

On both bumpers, that area has a texture to it. On Keiferson22's bumper, he had Ikon paint it and they painted that section with a gloss black. The gloss plus the texture gives that effect. On mine, I had it shop painted and I asked them to leave that area unpainted. It closer matches the splitter and kennards below it. I opted for that method to closer match the stock GT500's. Hope that helps.
