Hey! JetBlack where did get your ///M3 front bumper from? I might be looking to do this.

Johnny DDMtuning.com has them for the best prices I have ever seen. They are OEM fitment too. My front and rear came from them and are at the shop currently waiting for the rest of my car to get painted for this year.

ddm sells absolute thrash, i had ordered a bumper from them and it was garbage, cheaply made and fit was shit.
they sell chinese made junk, i would stay as far away as you possibly can not to mention the rip you off on shipping.
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=949169
a perfect example.
you drive a BMW for god sakes buy decent parts instead of the ebay gargage these jerks are peddling.

When I get my "trash" on, I will let you take a look at pictures of my car and you can tell me whats OEM and whats aftermarket. I am sure that your expert eye with the ability to detect Chinese made junk will be able to detect whats OEM and what isnt.

You conveniently posted on link to one thread that says they have excellent service, delivered the parts to the customer personally rather than shipping or having customer make a trip. The skirts are off by about 4 mm which is 2 mm on each side if Kaiv would have centered them rather than pushing them flush so it looks like a huge gap on one end. They havent been mounted to the car yet. Only held against the side of the car improperly, so how is it we can assume they dont fit.

what use is great customer service if the product is no good and doesn't fit?

also you may want to chill out a bit and take it easy, everyone is entitled and are free to express their opinion regardless of whether it agrees with yours or not.

The point being made, kind sir, is that they do fit. You have to place weather stripping that is approximately 2mm thick around the skirt and center it on the rocker panels. The picture taken shows one side pushed flush and the other side overlapping severely. Based on the fact that my customs/body shop installs skirts, bumpers, and kits daily, I was only giving my opinion that they fit.

In regards to my chilling out a bit, no problem. I wasnt upset that they are trying to steer people towards other vendors. I could care less where people choose to spend their money. I do take great offense to racist comments as Chinese crap and what not. I have been married to a Chinese National for over 11 years and to hear people make such offensive unwarranted comments is unnerving. The Chinese people are very hardworking and provide excellent products to the world on a daily basis. To make such a comment implies that the Chinese dont have the same technologies for molding a piece of plastic as Americans. I am and was personally offended by the comments that were made against the Chinese.

To the gentleman who made the original comment, these products are made in Taiwan, thus making them Taiwanese "junk" not Chinese "junk"..

Just wanted to take the time to express my opinion whether it agrees with anyone elses or not.

Thank You Sir.

Jet, cant wait to see pics of your bumper.

Johnny, good luck with your purchase. If you need some suggestions, PM me. We can talk about it in private so that jet can have his thread back. Have I steered you wrong yet???

the point being made is this is not bimmerforums and here flames and merchant wars aren't welcomed and more so considering the vendor in question is not a supporting member here and contributes nothing to this site.
now, your opinion as well as EVERYBODY elses is welcomed and has its place, but we will step in to make sure it stays civil and before it gets out of hand, such is life in an online community.
as far as Chinese crap or American crap goes there's nothing racist about that statement, in ones mind crap is crap no matter what country it comes from, there's no need to turn a simple opinion into drama, is there?

**pswirley** · 03-02-2008, 09:28 PM

Then why cant we just agree to call it crap. I bet if you were walking the streets of south central Los Angeles and said that an black a**ho*e was giving a hard time or if you were in NY and said a money grubbing Jew ripped you off, those people would take offense.

Jet, cant wait to see pics of your car.

Johnny, PM me if you want more info. I will let you know what I know.

Sorry for mentioning a non productive to this forum vendor. As an enthusiast, I enjoy the ability to get the most out of money. I don't endorse any specific vendor on any forum and only try to do for my friends on the forum the same I would do for customers in my shop, give them a suggestion of somebody that I have used before and base my interpretations of their business on my own personal experiences. I have never used any of the vendors on this forum so I cannot speak to how well Ouri or anyone conducts their business.

God Bless America.

Jet, lets see the bumper already!!!!

except we aren't on the streets of south central anywhere, we are here and members are bound by the rules of this forum not yours or anybody else not to mention that the member made no racist remarks while you just did...

**pswirley** · 03-02-2008, 09:42 PM

Jet, so sorry your thread went off topic. I was trying to help out Johnny. Lets see some pics already.!!!!!

Johnny, PM me.

**JetBlack328i** · 03-02-2008, 09:44 PM
