Anyone Used Khoalty Bumpers?

[C Withers Media]

Keep in mind these cars are at a minimum 6 years old at this point. A pre painted bumper will not likely be a paint match. Not worth it IMO.

Khoalty bumper fits great, have one on my car. Plus as a matter of dealing Khoa on a personal level, his service is second to none. He is a stand up guy. Would definitely recommend.

The good thing is my car is black, don't remmeber the name off the top of my head but it's just black, no pearl or anything in it, that leads me to believe it wouldn't be to hard to match, and anything is an improvement over my fro t end now. Casey I'll keep that in mind because iv had issues with their service in the past so if he needs a kick in the ass I'll hit you up. :

I just ordered a pre-painted front M-Tech II from Tim at Umnitza. Phoned in the order and saved quite a bit on door-to-door shipping & paint compared to what the website cart listed. They knocked $25 off paint and D2D shipping was only $10 more than Greyhound (instead of $75 more shown on website). $475 all-in.

I'll try to post follow-up once it arrives and I get it installed.

^im sure there are a lot of road rashed bumper owners hoping for positive feedback.

Just to add to the khoalty bumper, I've had mine painted and installed for about a year now. No fitment issues. Don't get the support bracket that khoalty sells, I bought it and in the install my mechanic told me it didn't fit.

I thought about doing this. Painting bumpers out here around $150-250 depending on what paint they use. plus bumper plus shipping.

My aftermarket bumper was pretty damn good.

most of the vendors get them from suvneer or jl-motoring. So where ever you buy, you going to get the same product.

Finally got around to installing the front bumper cover I got from Umnitza. Fit is good and paint match is perfect. The plastic "push rivets" on my original that attach the cover to the bumper bar (coupe & convertible) were busted up, so I just used nuts and bolts (Allen head M5's) and they're a lot more secure felt than the pushies.

One thing I'll mention - not sure if it's a positive or a negative. These aftermarket covers do not have slots for reflectors (coupe & convertible). That's probably a plus for most, considering how many e46 owners replace them with painted ones anyway. But, for those "in the know" it will be obvious that it's not OEM.

Nevertheless, this was a great deal and a fairly easy DIY. Very glad I ordered it pre-painted.

I'll try to remember to get some photos to post when the weather clears up.

Ressurecting this thread again....

Bird-dog, have you had a chance to get photos yet? I'm about to pull the trigger on this and tryign to decide which way to go.

Also- Anyone have experience putting a coupe bumper on a sedan? I don't really care for the rub strips on the sedan bumper and would like a cleaner look.
