I bet these guys can sell a full TECHART Replica (front,rear bumpers , skirts and Tail) for $2500 maybe less

I would like to hear some feedback from other people that had bought from them
precision's quality is excellent...my bumper is smooth and solid...fitment is spot on - installation is a major factor with this one whether it be yourself or the body shop installing the bumper.

BTW...my front lip is fiberglass painted gloss black sealed up w/ clear bra...the CF version costs extra from precision...

heres 2 pics for reference...

microboby is infamous around these parts
Highcard , That is a damn good looking bumper. I am 100% in for the Group Buy.

Guys lets get 10 persons to buy so we can get a hell of a deal from whoever is the bumper provider.

How is the ridehight from these replica's compared to stock bumber,are these a lot lower to the ground? I wouldn't like to change my front lip every week because we have a lot of speedbumps in Belgium..

It looks fantastic, but if it is anywhere near a real TechArt clearance, you will bust that lip within a week.

Then you will destroy it in the first month...just driving on the roads. Have some extras or get a smaller lip like I did.

I think I would choose the smaller spoiler.. the big one looks nice, but I think it will be a nightmare driving the car daily..

its only a little bit lower...but the tricky part is that these bumpers are LONG

ok guys i heard back from misha. heres the deal . heres what he said .

Ok I just spoke to my friend who is making these bumpers for my customers and if it is 5-10 bumpers the best price I can get you from him is $1000 + $180 for shipping. It comes with all the ducking and two bottom lips, standard small one and bigger GTS lip. As you know I do not make these bumpers so the quality is not perfect as my wings and bumpers but it is the best quality replica TA bumper that I saw.'

so who is all interested ? Pm Misha, 996wings.for payment info ,he will take orders and they will be made and shipped in order the payments are received .

so how many people do we have?

Well, I have seen the one from Misha. It is awaiting install on my car actually. And the quality looks VERY good. The ducting looks to fit well and the thickness is constant.

Will require a bit of trimming for the side markers but that is normal for something ike this I assume.

Just my .02
