I received my BW bumper caps yesterday, let me start with a question
To those that have purchased these parts, do your turn signal/marker lights fit this poorly?
The lenses sit about a 1/2 above the surface of the bumper. It seems to me that they should sit flush.
Brad was a great guy to deal with, very friendly and helpful and gave a good price on the parts.
I must say I am dissappointed overall
Here is my story
The original reason I elected to go with the BW pieces over the other providers was the original thought that based on Bill V's caps from BW that I could easily mount the Ruf rubber lip on the cap.
Once people started to get their parts it was apparant that the molds had changed since Bill bought his parts. No big deal, just more work for me.
Also was told that shipping could be to a work address to save on shipping costs, but when speaking to Brad he said he had to ship to the same address as the billing address on the credit card. $90 shipping ouch.
Parts were packaged poorly (wrapped in cardboard with some newspaper thrown in) the "boxes" were pretty beat up by the time they got here and I was supprised that the fibreglass hadn't been cracked anywhere.
I had assumed (my own fault for not asking) that similar to other bumper caps (ie MikeZ's RS replica cap) that there would be studs bonded to the front and rear caps to mount to brackets that would need to be fabricated to replace the bumper shocks or to a nerf bar. How are you guys attaching these?
Overall the quality of the parts is OK, but I still believe I will be doing a lot of finishing work to get these to match the quality of the rest of the car. (see light question above) Since it was stated these would require essentially no finishing work to install this is again the another reason I chose BW over the other manufacturers since if I wanted to do a bunch of finishing work I could have gotten the Rennspeed parts and saved a considerable chunk of change.
Maybe I was just expecting too much as my only other experience with fibreglass products are genuine Porsche pieces and the quality is of no comparison.
Hopefully I'll feel better once they are installed and painted.
