Exclamation so has anyone found out if the acs ait replica front bumper is a good fit?

I know we had a really long thread on it a while back but wonddering if anyone has the word. im not trying to start up alot of useless arguements but im in college full time and dont have much funds. my front bumper is all cracked up and wondering if anyone has used the acs from AIT yet.

Please try not to place an input unless you have or know someone personally that has purchased a ACS from AIT.

thanks guys

You should really search before you get peoples biased opinions.

I bought an AIT AC replica from xknowonex and never test fitted it becasue I sold it. I sold it to DriftPaRX7, which he was very glad with.

Here is him test fitting the bumper:

And here it is painted:

Looks very good in my opinion. But like i said search

Yeah no prob man, try entering "AC replica" into the search button and more info should pop up.

As for pricing, AIT sels tha AC replica front bumper for $280 but they only make the front bumper. I was gonna do exactly what Drftx did and put the front AC replica from AIT along with vertext sideskirts and vertex full rear bumper. It looks good in my opinion. I bought the vertix replica side skirts for $210 and the vertex replica full rear bumper for $220 from Raceonusa. The fitment was great! On everything but the passenger side sideskirt, it just neede to be shaved down a litle from the inside to fit. However, I think people should just buy the Shine replica AC kit. Its the front bumper, skirts, and full rear bumper, all AC replicas for about $1200 I think.

AIT fitment was decent, this was before I sold my SC last week. Got their Vertex rep sides. It's no where near how they make it seem flexible on the videos.

I think you got it mixed up. The videos demonstrating flexibility are the shine ones
