anyone ever buy a bumper or anything from them?
I've heard you gotta do some trimming to them sometimes but otherwise are they decent? im guessing they're made of polyeurethane?

sweet, thanks for the info..

I have bought a 1992 honda civic bumper from them and the fitment was 5/10

Not so bad if you go to the cities and pick parts up. If you get sheet metal parts shipped and they come dented you're stuck with them. A bumper should survive the shipping pretty good though.

We have had some ify fitments, but on beater cars that had been in accidents or had a group of junk body panels that nothing fit too well.
I wouldn't put Certifit on my personal DD car, but I wouldn't be afraid to put it on my fiancee's car haha.

-

more expensive to paint as well -
what kind of price difference on average are they from oem? any one know? is it really worth it with the "shitty fittment and harder to paint"

we did a hood, both fenders, a bumper, and both headlights on a grand am for 500 bucks in parts compared to a 300 dollar oem bumper...

I know you said you had a hard time getting the hoods in not dented. But what is your shipping luck on fenders, other thin sheet metal parts. I'm looking to buy from them, don't know if it is better to just pick up the stuff.

sorta-fit,,,,, I've dealt with their shit a few times. Anything metal comes dented but kinda fits, anything plastic just doesn't fit.
