Vorsteiner GTS3 Front Bumper Q...

hl0m4n · 01-19-2010, 01:11 AM

i got a few q on the gts3 front bumper.

1. are there any pics of this without the lip?

2. how easy is the lip attatced and detatched to the front bumper? im assuming since this bumper was made for the lip there is no need for glue, etc and hold pretty well?

thanks for help

1. Here are the photos for you

2.The lip is bolted to the bumper so that you can remove it if you need to install a new one.

lookin good..

1. has anyone experienced any fitment or other issues with this bumper?

2. how easy/difficult to acquire only the lip portion in the event its busted/needs to be replaced?

No fitment issued on mine, I feel it aligns better with the hood and fenders than my OEM bumper did

Replacement lips are available through Vorst. Since you already paid for the bumper they'll only charge you $300-400 for a replacement lip in case you damage it

Good info to know just in case

I have no fitment issues either. Vorsteiner products have a factory like fit

why doesn't this fit on the sedan if the bumpers are identical?

With a lowered car...how will the carbon lip and bumper hold up to speedbumps, driveways, etc.?

You are going to have to be more careful of course, the car is not only lower than the factory ride height but the bumper sits lower than the factory bumper with the lip.

If you're asking if it will hold up and be able to withstand some abuse, the answer is yes, it will.
I've smacked it quite a few times and everything stays pretty solid and tight

As the others have said, you have to be more careful as it is lower. However, the bumper and lip are very solid and will take some effort to rock loose.

One added benefit is that the lower front lip of the bumper is replaceable, so you don't have to repair or replace the entire bumper.
