These bumpers on sale are basically an OEM Votex kit that gives the Turbo S look, but there are some slight differences between this bumper and the OEM Turbo S bumper. There should be no reason this would not fit a Turbo S, however there would be some slight differences between the original bumper and this one.

Here is a photo of an original Turbo S for comparison:

Yep! Unfortunately, It won't probably be ready this year. Like I said before, I have to purchase a few more parts and pieces first, so I can have it all painted at once. BUT 2011 Roswell, Look out baby!

And yes...Maybe I will start a photo thread too.

Being an OEM part, dealers are able to source these. Some will offer them at the sale pricing, others will not and it will vary from dealer to dealer.

WOW!!! i just paid $180 for the front one.. with $140 i can buy both at the dealer ... and do you know if the front one from the dealer includes all the bolts and stuff that the ECS one comes with???

This isn't an appropriate thing to talk about in an advertiser thread.

Live and learn, but if it wasn't for ECS, i wouldn't know these exist and they'll be getting my business in the future after my happy dealings with them on these bumpers.

Some people aren't so fortunate to have a local dealership.

SMG is right. This isn't the right place. There is a customer feedback forum to post compliments or complaints. Here's an example CLICK HERE.

Thank you for the kind words and orders everyone, we appreciate the support!

Isn't this a public thread? Everything should be allowed to be discussed, not just positive comments. If you like what you're getting pass it on. If not then share your thoughts so others can be aware. Sounds like some people could have saved a lot by knowing this info first and going to a dealer. Others don't have that option. But we should be helping each other out.

If I'm not mistaken a seller should be posting here:

You are correct my good man on all points, and your shipping info is duly noted. However there is a place to submit all compliments and even bad reviews. Maybe this thread should be moved... you'll have to ask a mod. But yes everything does have it's proper place, even for a public forum/thread.

So? Don't **** all over ECS for sniffing out a great deal for us and making these available at a huge discount? Do you expect them to offer free shipping on a $49 bumper kit that's marked down 92%?

You're nuts.

THIS.

It boggles the mind that people still complain for $49.

Its like they feel OMGZ we R beetlez 0wners we deserve it 4 freeee!

As a member of other forums...the comments are not uncommon. It doesn't matter what you do, you can never make everyone happy!

I ordered the kit tonight. I have been looking at the Carcatre front end for a long, just could never talk myself into the $600 plus dollars they wanted.

Personally I don't beleive you could buy the parts from the kit from a dealer in central Indiana for anything close to this kits price. The dealers around here charge an admission price just to walk in the parts departments...not really, but damn near. A quart of VW power steering fluid is $25+.

I agree it all depends on the dealer your talking to.

Where can I find the front grill with no fog lights for this convertion (like those in page 4)???
