Those of you using the shine auto bumper, skirts, rear bumper add ons. How is the fitment and quality? I'm thinking of ordering some stuff but I'd like to get some feedback first. Thanks guys

I used to have the g spec front bumper with a turbo a duct molded into it. I loved it. I had to take it off and go with the stock bumper right now because the g spec took a beating over four or five years of driving on poor Alabama roads and parking a bit too close to concrete stops at restraunts around here. The fitment was great though and I was impressed with the quality.

Shine has the best quality replicas. Their replicas are as good, if not better than originals.

Did you scrape a lot going up drive Ways and speed bumps with that bumper.

Jony89: that's all gonna depend on how low your car is and how steep the driveways and how big the bumps are. I scraped all the time when my car's ride height was very low...then finally I cracked my authentic fiberglass Greddy bumper. So I got a new shine bumper and raised my car a little bit. The shine replica flexes a little, so it will be more forgiving on the bumps and driveways.

It's just the bumper is so nice I wouldn't want to get a dam scratch on it :icon_sad::icon_sad:
Hahah I was just curious especially with the fitment because 2015 I want to do makeover on the car.
I got the power , just need the aggressive look now haha.

I did scrape a few times but it wasn't the bumpers fault. My car has coilovers and it was kinda low. When I first got it, would pull to close to a concrete stop and that would mess it up. The bumper does flex a little though. I have since raised my car up a little.

I loved my Shineauto pre 89 east bear lip. I was nearly slammed & the poor lip took a LOT of scraping and still looked GREAT!, barely noticeable! best lip I've EVER had!! I have a 91 now & have the Spec H. (bought on suprasport, drop shipped from shineauto) the supra is on Eibachs & Tokico Illumnia II's, no where near as low, but the lip is cracked pretty bad on 3 different places & I've only scraped a few times. Next time i order one it will be directly from Shineauto. I'm sure it'll will be a better quality.i have rear add ons & side skirts directly from shine. Very good quality, just buy from shineauto directly. :thumbup:

Drop shipped or ordered directly from Shine, the quality is the same. Transaction wise, its just better to order from Shine directly
