Guys with the 1M bumper, do you DD your cars? I'm worried about the seams leading to the bumper easily breaking or ripping

There is someone trying to get a group buy together for these bumpers.

Looks great. Just curious which lip did you go with? I'm still debating on wether or not I should put one on my bumper.

Yes I DD my car to the tune of about 22k miles a year. I've had the bumper on for a little more then a year and it has held up well. Big thing that Ranz did is they plastic welded and bonded the bumpers together with a adhesive. It also helped that after painting I had a custom Suntek PPF installed and opticoated that to make it maintenance free.

This is the old GB that a few of us used to get ours. It has since been closed for a while.

If we have enough interested people doing it, we will build a limited production run of 10 units, but the price will be about $1500-1800 depending on options and total volume.
Looks like someone needs to take some leadership here if you want it to happen.

I daily mine and even got into a little hydroplaning incident a while back that involved the bottom portion of my bumper contacting the curb. If made right you'll be fine. Can't speak for duraflex or the ones that may or may not be produced again, but the ones Ranz Motorsports built for me stood the test.
