So I bought my bumper off of Ebay and I didn't realize that the corners would be folded. Is this something that should concern me?

Its urethane, so it should bend back to shape... But if it was me, Id be filing a paypal dispute it there was any damage. Bending in the sides to ship is just stupid.

test fit, leave it on the car a day or two and see if it gains form again. But id be pissed and prob return it along with a fucked up trader raiting.

Yeah... thats fucked up... im sure ya could get a refund under insurance for damage to item due to improper boxing from seller/getting damaged from using a box too small for it. but yeah see if when you mount it if there are creases on the actual bumper...

either way the sellers an idiot for boxing in a box not big enough to fit without bending it...

i know they sell eurethane lips for hondas bent up like that all day long to put in a smaller box but i dont think thoze crease.

either way try mounting up straight and if theres a crease id leave negative rating and demand insurance to cover it due to seller fucking it up.

Pretty sure if you mount it it will line back up. As long as there are no cracks you should be good. A lot of companies ship polyurethane lips bent in half to fit in boxes.

Those Honda lips straighten right out when you hit them with a heat gun. You can try that.

I hope you are right. Cause when I unwrapped it I was in shock. But when I take it to the body shop I hope they get it looking brand new.

Damn I never thought getting a stock jdm bumper would be this ridiculous

if its bent its no problem at all. get a heat gun and heat up the spot that folded and about 6 inches past that and slowly form it back to what it should. at worst it might require a light coat of glaze. or if your really really worried about glaze cracking get some plastic bumper repair bullshit. as long as the plastic isent cracked it shouldent be more then a 5 min fix.

Damn, how much did you end up paying for it? I see you're in GA. If you end up returning it, go to Z1 motorsports and pick up a new one.

Yeah I got this bumper off a dealer from Ebay for 530 shipped(Malaysia). The bumper came with the fog lights in Used condition, as you can see. The Dealer has sent me a Video to unfold. I hope it is as easy as shown. Yeah I plan on picking up rear end from Z1.

$530?!?! You could have fucking bought a new bumper for less!!!

Shit, for that much money, I probably would have sold you my bumper!!!

See You missed the big kicker. I bought the Bumper and both foglights, for 530 shipped. At NissanParts.cc they sell the bumper for 422.17 shipped. Thats not including the foglights. I Know it sounds crazy how much I spent on this bumper, but you all know that going JDM aint cheap.

No he did not miss the point. You still got fucked on price. I bought a bumper, fog lights, trim, and LIP for less than 600 shipped.

New bumpers are less than 350 shipped and fogs are easy to find(or mod usdm ones).

SHOP AROUND, and try and lowball private sellers

Yeah, Z1 sells their fronts BNIB for $300, I believe shipping is $50 or something like that. So you got bent over regardless of if it came with fogs or not. You couldve used your US fogs.

Damn are you serious? Damn maybe I should have asked on here before I made the purchase. And please show me where you can get the JDM kouki bumper, fog lights, and signal lights for under 50?

I think he meant to type up $500. Crazy thing is that $500 is actually cheap for a bumper...Zenki Navan bumpers are ridunkculous pricing wise.

Its definetly possible.... I ordered a new front from Z1 for $300, DMAX Clear Turnsignals off here for $45, US Foglights work, you just have to make brackets $0, and foglight trim pieces are $15.

So, $360 and ive got what you just paid $500 for. That leaves you $140 for fogs if you want JDM fogs, which im fairly sure you can find on here for less than that.

So you got bent over. :naw:
