GT500 style front bumper on MY2018

[R 350 gt Donson]

Here is what a 777 performance looks like on my PP2....looks great but there are SHIIT why? because the bottom corners will bend down at 105MPH and any faster they will rip off ALL of them are like this. I can go on but take my word for it. It's nothing like the real thing. (i.e GT500) ALL of them are made in CHINA

Is this a standard gt not a performance package?

Standard GT (premium), not PP1 or PP2

Yeah the vicrez extra splitter did lower it quite a bit. But I’m really happy how it looks. I’ll look for the part numbers in the belly pan.

Just installed the MP Concepts bumper. Still need to do a bit of tweaking around the hood to straighten that gap, but it's close to being as good as it's going to be. Then it's back to the body shop for polishing and touchups. I decided not to have the slivers on the outside of the signal lights painted black--just didn't think the painter would do a good enough job prepping and masking that area, especially the point at the top. Overall, not bad for an inexpensive aftermarket bumper and collision shop paint job. It's my son's car and he's very happy with it, so I'm not going to stress about the little issues that would drive me absolutely crazy if it were my car (the tips above the headlights that point down just a little too much bother me most). The bigger question is how well it will hold up...my son drives his car quite a bit and it's awfully low and not quite as beefy as the factory bumper.

I'm thinking the bumper is designed around the performance package belly pan and fender liners.

What size wheels and tires? What's the car lowered on?

Thanks. I will order belly pan when you verify the P/N. Thank you for your help

Here it is after polishing, touch-ups and minor adjustments. I looked more closely at how it fits around the belly pan, wheel well liner, etc., and although it doesn't look factory stock, it works well, and is quite secure. In fact, there were only two screws from the factory set-up that were unused. So I do think this bumper is made to go with the base GT belly pan rather than the PP belly pan, which I know is different. I was also able to pull the winglets tight up against the wheel opening with a strategically placed self tapping screw. Instructions point out the need to do this, and you can't see the screw, so all is good.

Hi. Looks great. I might to remove the side skirts for they are just to low. But I have it apart and will try to adjust and realign to a higher height. Even though the OEM PP1 Splash guard did fit, It wasn't OEM fit, and if the Non-PP1 Splash Guard works I will try one of those. Thank you

Here is i5 autohause bumper. Happy with it overall. There paint job is a good color match but its not without minor flaws. Fitment takes effort to acheive but in end produces a solid result. I am happy with it.

Went through all 28 pages lol. anyone else got complaints with the mp concepts version ?

 

[Alponcho]

No issues after one month and about 600 miles. Everything is still tight.

Seems like the best buy for the price.
