certifit??

Ok so my factory front bumper is a little beat up from the previous owner from constant scraping on driveways.... also it has a crack where the fender meets the bumper on the driver side..

So, my question is how many people have a certifit bumper on there car and is it worth the price and having painted??? I know that it has the triangle on the bumper where the mitsu symbol is suppose to be. Give me some input!! thanks...

Re: certifit??

I'd say no. You can do alot better for about the same price. Give Keystone a call.

No! They never fit right and they look just weird. They aren't that expensive from Mitsu, or just buy a used one and repaint it.

Re: certifit??

sortafit. In all honesty, I just bought one from rock auto. It was cheap, but with my driveway I didn't want to buy an OEM at this time. Once I move out of my current place, where my car won't scrape on the driveway, then I will. I think Nick G. said he can get them for 300ish.

Re: certifit??

I've bought 2 certi-fit bumpers (one 2Ga and 2Gb) and they fit pretty much perfectly. I would recommend them.

I'm 311's cousin.

Re: certifit??

Chris I already told you, the 2gb front bumper from cerifit fits perfect. I had one on my 2g and then I sold it to kerry, and it looked perfect on his car. Its under 100 bucks for the bumper. cant go wrong for that.

Re: certifit??

I went to certifit here in Cali and picked up a front bumper for $47 and two fenders for $60ish each and when I got home one fender was bent (I didn't know because it was in a fender box) I was pissed because I live 2 hrs away. The front bumper fit fine but I ended up selling it because I have a custom dump tube that exits out my front bumper and I didn't want to rivet another piece of metal on that certifit bumper. But for $47 I would say it's deff worth it. Some come with the triangle since these bumpers are made in Taiwan.

Re: certifit??

I've seen 3 of them.... one was perfect, one had minor warpage that a heat gun took care of an one was bad.... the one in the cities area (forget where) let me choose the one i wanted, so its a decent bumper i guess. They are not nearly as giving as an oem one though.. its stiff polyurathane

Re: certifit??

I am planning on doing the factory and paying a little bit more just to make me happy because I know in the end it wouldn't do it for me....
