The big problem is I buy for customers, to sell, not for personal use.

The 2nd set, never shipped, My friend in US helped to call them, but got promises from them again.

They promised to refund me, but after weeks, money never arrived back
Keep away from them or you will lose money.
I experienced the same, i ordered the Bumper kit since oct 2012 and until now only the bumper has been shipped to me, they promised to send me the other parts that is included in the picture since dec 2012 and until now i haven't got it yet. GT_Motoring never get back to emails i sent them and every time i called they're always busy. If you see this post, i need your responsibility GT_Motoring, my car has been sitting for months!!

Did anyone who retrofit the M-sport bumper have problem installing the air duct beside the lower mid grille? The shop i went to said that the bracket for the air ducts didn't match so they have to drill the chassy. I definitely dont want to drill the chassy. Anyone?
