DDM Tuning???

Apexcone has clearly stated in the past that they package the same HID internals in DDM kits they distribute.

I think DDM and Apexcone are made in the same factory.

well i am looking to purchase the bumper, and from the description and picture there doesn't seem to be much difference than the one on BF in the GB, but I don't really know

It doesn't even say what the bumper is made of... but i mean you get what you pay for like I said earlier. There is a reason those bumpers are so cheap

If you buy it, when you receive it, let us know. If it's not Fiberglass I gotta get me one too.

The replica polyurethane bumpers with detachable lips are exactly the same as OEM except the moldings are smooth instead of textured.

well i had a polyurethane one for about a year and it sucked! A lot of the holes didn't match up to where i needed them to. and there was extra material on some of the bumper as well. I paid 175 bucks for the polyurethane version. I replaced it with an OEM one from the dealer before getting my car repainted.

polypropylene bumpers on the other hand are a little better(from what i have read) but still no oem bumper.

i've bought from DDM Tuning before (and plenty of other people here as well). Specifically, I bought their Apexcone/XTEC HIDs, ZKWs, DDEs (angel eyes), and they are all quality products. www.understeer.com is a distributor of theirs, ie, they sell the same lighting products as DDM Tuning. You can buy from understeer.com if you want to...they have excellent customer service and great products.

In regards to the replica bumpers, they are polyurethane with detachable lips. They are the same bumpers as the other vendors are selling for, ahem, $355. DDM Tuning just sells them for the best price around (just like with DEPO Gen 4 for $99, ZKWs for $385, etc.)

Let me know on the front bumper, I think it would really make my car sell faster than the cracked stock one.

Overall I would say that I got a decent product for a good price. Both the front and rear bumper lined up and matched up well with my car but I had to file some of the cut outs for where the molding snaps in. The customer service was great and very helpful. Only thing that disappointed me was the shipping. The packaging of the bumpers could have been better but nothing was damaged so I cannot complain too much. I would recommend buying a bumper from there unless you are an extreme perfectionist.
