M3 bumper install
 
I have a question about the m3 front bumper. If I were to purchase this bumper:

Can it be mounted on the stock bumper mounts or does it require the m3 mounts and m3 bumper reinforcement?

It will fit the stock bumper mounts. Your brake ducts (assuming you still have them) will be slightly too short though. Also, you may want to purchase that bumper from ddm tuning. Same price but the shipping is only 50 bucks instead of 90.

yes, i installed the same one, and got it from ddm tuning. very easy to install. also, if you have a silver car (as most are) pepboys paint is very close to our silver color. if not, macco paints bumbers for like $200.

cool deal i assumed it would be a straight forward bolt on but i wanted to double check. she is silver unfortunately, to each his own but i think silver is the uglyest car color ever! it just makes me think of like an old person :/

nd im not sure if i have the brake ducts.... if i do and they are to short i could probably just go without them right?

dont worry, i would take a guess and say about 50% or more cars lose their brake ducts after 10 years. haha. they only help blow air from the front of the car to the brakes in the wheel well. they fall off often.
