im sorry but wasnt that the picture that mozen used? to sell his raptor bumper

I purchased it 2 weeks ago from Mozen. However, when I received it, there were a couple of blemishes and a small crack near the center intake. None of this appears to have occured during shipping. These 3 or 4 blemishes can certainly be addressed during normal preparation and fitment. However, I'm either going to get the Fujimura bumper or the Top Secret lip. Besides, at the price I'm selling it, it's a bargin. To address anyone's concerns, I should have some close ups of the blemishes posted Saturday afternoon. Take care.

Here are the close up of the blemishes I mentioned previously. My apologies for taking so long. I was unable to get to the bodyshop on Saturday. Cheers.

Thanks for the pics woodfolk, I am still interested but just trying to think what "other" blemishes will come up from the frp finish.........

Mozen · 03-26-2012, 03:15 PM

That is the pic of the bumper i sold to OP. Not sure whats going on >_< why resell it brother?

EDIT: I see the pics but...All of that should be easily taken care of during prep when the bumper goes in for paint...

Side note Craig was very straight forward and easy to deal with. Id /bump the thread if i understood more why your selling it lol.

Wait, why is it so bad? I am sure it didnt come like that, at least mine didnt.. The lil imperfections looks aweful.

Damaged during shipping? Or did a body shop attempted to make a mold out of it?

With simple body shop work this bumper will look good. I would be more concerned about fitment issue over simple blemishes. GLWS

That is EXACTLY the way i received it from CS, but all of it is easily fixable during prep as i posted in my FS thread.

Off topic at this point tho.

Is there a fitment issue with the raptor?

HandnPantz · 03-27-2012, 05:57 AM

Stupid question I know, but is this the front or rear.....

Front.

How is the weight compared to the stock bumper?

Xplicit97 · 03-27-2012, 04:36 PM

Aside from the hellish wait I have seen from Carbon signal customers on here whats the MSRP on this bumper from them directly?
