Thanks for this video! I have a 2004 in the white tricoat color that has some paint chips and love bug damage. This has convinced to buy one of these instead of paint matching and buying a base bumper.
Great video and review.. I have a 2007 es350 and I was just rear ended and need a bumper and was about to order it from MBI on eBay but I said let me see if there’s any reviews on here to see if it’s worth it.. they have it for $310 for my car painted and shipped so thanks to your review I think I’m going to go ahead and order one.. body shop wanted $1,000 smh I think that’s a rip off.. my color is also black (code 212) I think it’s probably the same paint code as yours as well. 212 Obsidian black correct?
Just bought that exact same one from MBI. 05 Lexus. Glad to know these fit perfect! Gonna run over to brothers to grab some tools. What type of tools did you use to replace only the bumper?
@@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE Do you think it would be hard to find a bumper cheaper elsewhere in good condition? May have to get it as mine is scuffed from previous owner
I’ve got a Dodge Challenger and the driver side bumper is damaged but my issue is that I have a tricky paint to match with a Pearlcoat on it. Do you think this would be smart to buy or would it be safer to just buy a factory bumper and have someone paint it for me?

Pretty good for an 05 car. Couldn't beat that price. Clean up and buff the left headlight yet. 👍👍

Looks great. My car is exact the same model, year and color. How could you unfold it to be perfectly fit?
it unfolded and straightened itself out. immpressive!
@@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE thanks for your reply. Had you told them how you prefer to fold before they shipped? I love the way they made it for you.

I’ve seen a few videos you’ll need a 10 mm ratchet, a Phillips and a flat head. That should be it
@@morrays1996 appreciate it, man. Replacing it this weekend. Looks pretty strait forward
i was thinking about getting a bumper from them or paintapart. btw im also in CT, Southern CT
I was happy with MBI; the quality was decent for the price. I'm in milford, Ct.
@@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE good to know. im in Farifield/Bridgeport area
how hard was it to change the bumper? Considering doing this myself
It was simple enough, if you have tools, patience and want to save a ton of money by doing it yourself; it was not a difficult job.

Hi is that one the one they send folded or is it the one they call premium unfolded??
I don't think so, I think it was economy. Pic of ad is in video.
Did you buy they're cheap kit or there premium option

I wouldn't, that's a nice car but, if you're budget minded then yea, I would try it out.
How has the paint held up over time? Nice video! Bumper looks great! Thanks for sharing :)
Excellent, I sold it to a buddy a couple years ago and it still looks good!
How long did it take for it to be delivered?
It was pretty quick, I think less then a week
They come primed when you buy it those companies that do that use cheap color match by dupli color from what I've learned
unlikely cheaper to buy in bulk. Clear can be sprayed in bulk so base a bunch at once, then clear em all. I can see it.
