Shout out to: Perfect Colors Anahiem

So I was going through the socal shop sticky thread and decided to give Jeff at Perfect Color a call. I setup a time and brought my bumper in. The paint/clear feels thick and looks shinny. The color matches 100%.
If you need paint and body work, then give Jeff a call 714-402-4699
See pictures below attached.

Looks great! I'm on the fence about doing this. One thing I've noticed quite a bit is that the headlight washer covers look really bad. Do they look better in person?

The headlight cover a little funky cuz mines mines don't have headlight covers. And the fake 3m/m3 tape that holds the covers are not quality so I had to add hot glue. Also I should have had the covers sanded down a little.

I got the bumper from another member on here. Monstar , In the thread, he said the bumper comes with the vents etc.. When i picked it up, i didn't pay attention that he didnt give me the vents. During install is when i realize no vents. I have texted him a few times but he is NOT responding anymore. Not sure if he's a bad seller or have phone issues.

Ah OK. I was actually considering buying that one. Which vents are you talking about? It looks like you have everything.

Are there any fitment issues? I can live with slightly misaligned lower grilles or something, but if the corner doesn't match up to the fender or the headlights, it might be a dealbreaker. From what I can see, everything lines up pretty well and your grilles look like OEM plastic.

Oh, and you should consider getting the gloss black M Performance kidney grilles. I am not a fan of blacking everything out, but those look really good, IMO. Especially with the M Sport bumper.

Supposedly the seller told me, this is autotecknic bumper.

Here's my review on this bumper.
-It's a very tight fit but it fits. Everything lines up. I had to pull hard on certain areas to make the holes line up to button down.
-It's hard to tell from picture but the top of the bumper and hood doesn't like up 100% It's like 1/8 of an inch lower than the hood. OEM bumper was nice and flush.
-My car comes with outside temperature sensor and OEM spashsheild comes with a hole for this sensor to sit in properly, but the aftermarket spashshield doesn't come with the hole and you canNOT just cut a hole. Well you could cut a hole but it might be visible and you might pick up a bag driving on the freeway because the sensor would be sticking out of the splash shield.

What is missing. See image attached.

I'm starting to think this is NOT autotecknic bumper.
See his post, notice the grille is complete. NO cutouts for the air ducts. and NO vents pictured.

Now see pictures of autotechnic kit from their website. The lower grille has cut outs for the air ducts.

What is missing are the three air ducts and circled in red from autotechnic website.

Oh, I'll accept donations of the said kidney grille.

My f30 is simply for looks and for from point A-B so I'm not too disappointed not having the missing parts. Sometimes, you just meet bad sellers.
