NOpe neither! My order got messed up.... 
...... Now my ETA on the bumper is 7/3 I just heard from Corksport today! Im holding off on the springs for now, Im going to do a fmic instead, I was going to do all 3 but moneys getting tight for now
I really hope its not any later than that, Derrick said it was his fault during ordering it, Im not mad I just want to get it, so as usual the sooner the better!

I think places are having tbl getting the parts over from japan i ordered the AutoEXE TMIC a month ago as well. Still nothing! lots of talking though (spin)
Kosh said:That is what sucks about limited production cars. Parts aren't made in the volume you would find if looking for most other car parts. It seems like only 5 CPE turbobacks were ever made...been waiting for mine since April
go make ur own. take it to an exhaust shop and i gaurentee, get it made to whatever specs you want for $200-$250 tops
OK so I last heared my ETA for my bumper is July 3rd which is Weds!!!! Now if I only had my car.......... Ill still take pics and give my feedback on the quality.
Its messed up I honestly dont even feel like I bought it, I had a giant chunck of change missing and nothing to show for it, now Im just getting a bumper in the mail, feels quite strange. I ordered it like 2 months ago.. Wow (silly)

Bueller? Bueller?
Taken delivery yet?
Taken delivery yet?
Ahh.... Nothin still, Now its suppose to leave from the port for delivery on the 9th which was yesterday after passing through customs. I guess though Im not even going by anything I hear about my order, Im just going to get it when I get it, Ive been updated pretty good from Corksport but now Im just feeling it will arrive when it wants to. My guess is I should have it by the end of next week, but maybe sooner. In the meantime I dont even have my car to mount it to.......(boom02)
Got the bumper today!!! Looking through the plastic bag its in it looks very nice, I didnt open it up though, its primed black. THE MAJOR COMPLAINT I have is it has a Front license plate area molded right smack in the middle of the front bumper, it sticks out about an inch. Im debating on even putting it on though to look at the fitment, I might just sell it. I got my car back today and it was leaking tranny fluid and other parts were not fixed so Im really up in the air with my car right now. I know for certain Im not going to be owning it in another couple months, so my main question is if Im going to get another speed3 or not, I really love the car, but I have honestly had nothing but problems with it.
I will post some pics of the bumper tomorrow, I just threw it in the garage for tonite. If anyone is thinking of buying one let me know. I will not be excepting full price on this, it took 2 months for me to get it so the $890 shipped is cheap compared to the time I had to wait. Dont get me wrong I dont want anything crazy like 2000 lol. It looks pretty sweet though Ill put the pics on tomorrow

Well that's cool that you finally got it, but that's really lame about the front plate mount. Why would they do that? Why not just offer a piece you could bolt on if a front plate is required?
In my state (Alabama) a front plate isnt even required, and anybody building a show car wouldnt want that mount on the front. So that sucks.
Interested to see pics, and sorry to hear your car is still borked.

I was bored yesterday so I put my bumper on for fun to see h0w it looks and fit. Basically the bumper fits near perfect, all the body lines match up well and the finish is pretty good. There are about 3-4 spots that will need to be touched up though because of slight waves in the finish. The bumper fits nice and snug around the lights, fender lines, and foglights. I did have to take out the foam peice that goes ontop of the bumper reinforcement to allow it to fit. Im pretty happy with how it looks heres some pics!!!

Looks really good, get it painted and lets see the finished product!
Not sure if Im getting it painted since I might not have my car for much longer. If my car is lemoned then Ill most likely get black or white, I do like my color but I wont want the same color again...

Wow, that actually looks really, really nice. Great design on that bumper, looks like it could have been a factory option...not some ricey aftermarket monstrosity. Only annoyance is that front plate mount. I cant believe they molded that in instead of leaving it seperate for you to drill and mount yourself if you choose.
I hope you get it painted, or sell it to someone who'll make us all proud.
