About C-5 Bumper Options

[fran]

Hi! i just have a question about the extreeme dimensions C-5 front bumper! i will fly to US this week end and i want to purchase that bumper!... I read that the c-5 bumper fit fine on the ST202 (correct me if i wrong) but my doubt its that i can install it with my OEM ST202 hood! or i must purchase another hood!... ???

Thx!

That c-5 bumper is the c-one knock off. This is will fit with your factory hood, but I doubt fitment will fit like factory. All of the c-one knock offs are made for anything but the st205. HOw long are you planning on staying here in the US?

i plan to stay only for this week end!... so if i purchase it will have too much problem to put it into my ST202???.... the c-one fits better?

[chacha]

no...they're not...just a replica...they can't say it's C-one because it isn't, they'll get sued...lol...so they call it C-5...it is just like any other replica bumper out there...must be fitted by professional workshops or by yourself if you are good at that kinda stuff...good luck with it! I bought mines from there...the fitting is ****y...my experience...if i could have sent it back with no problems...i would...i still have mines...but gave it to my lil bro...he'll just deal with the hardship when he puts it on the celi...

The C-5 bumper is for a NON GT-FOUR.... If it was made for a gt-four believe me I would have bought it instead of going with the factory gt-four bumper.

C-one is the company that makes the kit. It will fit on any car like a glove because they are the real deal.

enough said...you get what you pay for...sometimes it's a lot...but man does it save you the pain and work...besides...if this car is something you plan to keep for the rest of your life....like me....it'll be an investment...make it a keeper and collector's car...shine her up...

[fran]

Yup! i plan to keep it!!!... So c-5 have a very bad fitment! thats really bad ... Another way to go its the C-One and this one will be fit just fine! rigth???... Another way its to put gt-four conversion! but i like a lot the c-one bumper with the gt-four hood!.. but the fitment for those are different??? i mean i can put c-one bumper with my st202 hood or that one just fit with gt-four hood???

If you buy the c-one bumper you have a choice to either buy it for the gt-four or for an st202. If you buy from extreme dimensions you are buying it for the st202. We are not telling you that the c-5 bumper is going to be horrible fitment. I myself have never tried them, so I can't say much but it being a knock off of the c-one. lets put it this way. The more expensive it is the better fitment you'll get. Lets say the c-5 bumper cost $300 and a look a like c-4 bumper cost $150. More than likely the c-5 will fit better. I doubt the bumper will fit horribly.

mmm!... i will think about it!... i think that its better to do the front end conversion...

thx a lot for your help guyz!

[chacha]

don't buy from them...trust me on this...they're c-5 is not better...just the same as any replica...they're way too expensive, if i knew better the first time around, i would never have gone with them...please go somewhere else...even the one from ebay that cost 150 is better than the one from extreme because you are practically buying the same bumper but from extreme, it'll cost you more for the same thing...look elsewhere rather than extreme or just buy from bulletproof automotive...if you plan to get gt4 hood, go with the c-one true bumper for the st205 and not the st202....if you want the st202 with the stock hood, then it'll work or the VIS hood...look alike gt4 hood with no nose....then it shall work...if c-one replica...look elsewhere rather than extreme dimmension my 2Cents...

Why didn't you say this from the get go? If we would have known that you went about buying from extreme than this thread wouldn't even last that long..lol...

[chacha]

sorry...i guess i should have...hahaha...i got carry away with the emotions kept inside...
