Also keep in mind that Kerscher I think has one USA rep in the country, and if you don't go through them, you will have to import it yourself and get it through customs which can be a real pain in the ass. I only had to pay about $50 of duty, but the process of picking it up from the airport and getting it out of customs took me 6 hours to complete! SGM would look magical with this!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to try and order through them.

I figured as much from Kerscher! I know a lot of fiber glass stuff can be iffy and require cutting, etc. Glad it fits perfects! Thanks for all the info. Ordered mine today and will have install pics as soon as my car is done.

I got mine from http://www.schmiedmann.com

Did you have to pay over 200 dollars in shipping fees to get your bumper? I ordered mine and just received an email requesting me to pay 200 more dollars for shipping after already paying 60 bucks.

Yup with shipping it should come out to around $1250 or so

Being fibreglass, how much does it weigh when compared to the stock bumper?

I was looking at getting these a few months back but when I compared the listed weight on websites with the stock weight it seemed like it weight significantly more. I'm not sure if it what they listed on the website was correct.

I love the look but I don't want to add any additional weight to the car if possible.

Looks really nice, would look even better if you romoved that M badge :P
And just curious, did you install that 1M style bumper?

I did not measure the exact weight of it. However, by holding it compare to the stock bumper, I don't feel it is any heavier. It actually pretty light.

Thanks for the compliment

No, I did not install myself. I took it to a garage and they installed it.

You are right, the international shipping is not cheap. It cost me 230 bucks for shipping to Taiwan. However, it's possible you can find a rep. in USA and the total cost might be cheaper for you that way.

The only rep I saw on Kerscher's site is GT Haus, I never gave them a call though, if anyone in the US is trying to save on some shipping, I'd contact them about the bumper

Thanks for the reply! It's good to know that it's not any heavier than the stock bumper. Could it possibly be even lighter?

Does anyone know where to find a reasonably priced interior dash and door kit? Looking to replace the dark wood that came in the car. Looking for either brushed silver aluminum or carbon fiber. Thanks, JS.

It is possible, but if it is, it would be just slightly lighter.
