Default GT Take-Off Bumpers -- Replacement because of accident

Well today I placed a backorder for Windveil Blue GT Take-Off bumpers from Diversified Marketing.

Anyone have any expierence with them? I've read mostly good things about them, with a few horror stories, but the people had been taken care of.

I am trying to find out what I am going to need to purchase so that I can my friend who owns a body shop install them. I know the rear is not going to be a problem, but I was looking at the how to install them and it looks as if im going to need some extra parts. I'm not worried about mounting it to the radiator unless you guys think it is something that should be done. (It may help keep the bumper cover stable at high speeds?) It'd be nice if theres a company out there that sells a GT Takeoff Install Kit.



Unfortunatley I had to purchase the kit because my vehicle had been rear ended at a stop sign. I'm using the money that the person payed me to get the new bumper covers (and the grille w/fogs ). The rear impact bar is bent, however it is not servere and I am planning to have this replaced at a later date.


The damage is worse than it looks in the pictures.

Yes, I did find that thread. However it seems like they sent him a new one without a problem.

I have personally been to diversified becaus ethey are 20 min away. Everything is in perfect condition there. They are all wrapped and very very nice. Now wheteher or not hey package it good i dont know maybe thats why when its shipped it come sback. But at their warehouse every single thing is perfect wheels bumpers even the take off emblems.

I had someone rear end me also back in late winter, and I did the same thing. Got the extra $$ from theinsurance company for the rear and used it fpr getting the fronts as well. Diversified was fine and I had no issues with them. Quick and clean. The front bumper is still in my basement - but should be going on next weekend.
I ordered all the parts from KC and he is more than helpful and knows his stuff. Without the full front kit - the wheel wells for example will not be the same and you'll have a gap on the bottom part where the bumpers tailors out a bit. Also the support is a little different. Give him a call and he'll hook you up
