GT500 style front bumper on MY2018

This looks amazing! Where did you order your belly pan from?

Thank you, I ordered it from Amazon it was a little over $100 shipped, got here in 2 days. Not a bad deal. Here is the page I got it from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H75574R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Our test fitment is FINALLY done. Listen to what others say, PP1 &PP2 owners - the belly pan is a bitch. The bumper cover is 777 Performance, unpainted until we can find somewhere that can match velocity blue or a dealership that will paint us up.

I’ve got to get one of these. Just trying to figure out the best place to order!

Test fit looks great! The only thing I would suggest getting the bumper sprayed by itself before adding the trim pieces to it. Makes it easier to paint and less costly.

Hey y'all; had some questions about ACC. Should I avoid getting ACC if I want this bumper? I don't really plan on using it, but it's bundled with a vehicle I'm looking at. Thanks!

You can make it work if you want to. I moved my sensor about an inch over and it works most of the time. Prior to moving the sensor it would not work with this bumper. I need to move it over a bit more still, but I need to get/ build a harness extension to move it anymore. Personally I love ACC and won't buy another car without it.

I would not factor the bumper on whether or not I would get ACC. I would get ACC based on your needs and wants. My ACC works like factory with the GT500 Style bumper, I might have been one of the lucky ones. YMMV

@mmburr88 when the acc doesn't work does it throw codes or show a warning if you don't use it? Or only when you try and set it?

It throws a "sensor blocked" code and turns off acc.

Hi. How do you like your GT500 bumper?, Did all lights and hardware fit like OEM? I an deciding on the 500 front bumpers and side "vented" fenders from Andrrson. Just want people who have done these input. Thank you for your help

Hi. What do you think of your 777 fit? Did all oem lights fit good? I was also thinking about getting Vented Front Fenders like the 500. Let me know
Thank you for your help

AFAIK the Anderson Composites version requires use of their front bumper and fenders in tandem and are unique to Anderson Composites. The fitment of my i-5 Autohaus seems pretty good, but were I to do it again, would go with the Ikon version. This is just because they have more pieces, which makes paint work easier and cleaner.

So as I've heard mixed responses as far as ACC compatibility, I'm wondering if it's something to do with the performance pack and how things are laid out.

Would anyone's experience conflict with the following chart?

Ikon GT500 Bumper and ACC Compatibility	PP	No PP
ACC	Yes	No
No ACC	Yes	Yes

So here's the problem, and why the ACC cars have a different lower grill. The first picture is pre-sensor move. See how part of it is covered.

After I moved it as far as I could with the available harness length it's still not quite cleared enough.

For reference this is what a factory ACC lower grill looks like. Note that the portion covering the sensor is fairly smooth.

I will say that after I moved my sensor an inch my ACC works most of the time. Just need to move it some more.
