i have the DDM m3 front bumper and the mirrors.. both fit like factory, and for me.. considering DDM is all the way across the country.. shipping was fast.. 3 days

the line in the mirror is a heating element if you have heated mirrors factory or want to retrofit it. takes a minute to get used to looking at it.. but not bad.

i didnt pop for the skirts after hearing all the horror stories. i'll pick up a set of used oem twisties eventually.

Got my bumped back from the paint shop. Looks really good!

1) Did any of you guys have trouble with the brake ducts? I ordered m3 brake ducts and can seem to make em fit into place

2) how the hell do you mount the foglights assemblies? Seems like in missing a part

how much did you pay for bumper + paint? I am a little bummed I may need to pay more for the actual paint job than for the bumper itself.

Yupp, The paint is way more than the bumper. I paid $200 to get it professionally painted.

my local body shop is asking 324 to get the bumper painted... 3.5 hours of labor at $55/hour. Then they want another 3 hours per sideskirt to have them refinished/repainted they are OEM dakar, but I want them in black to put them on my ti. Then they want another $100 to mount them because the ti does not already have the mounting points and stuff. total would be around 900 for pianting/mounting/etc... OUCH!
