Bohnman's Electronics will offer $25 off our regular price of $165 shipped to 10 people who want to participate in this group buy. Money will be due 2 days after 10 people are reached. Money will need to be paid via paypal. So they will be $140 Shipped

Thank you For all the support that we have received from the Grrrr8 community

Splitters will be shipped approximatly 1.5 weeks after the Group buy payments are recieved.

In, I need a new one and will get it installed correctly instead of just flubber fucking the install.

Since I'm dropping her an inch it'll be perfect. But can you give me detailed instructions for the GXP? Thanks, brosef

Here's the underneath of the front bumper cover from one end of the rubber GXP insert to the other, and where I had it attached incorrectly further back which ripped away. I'm thinking I'm still good on installing this piece.

Looks like you should still be able to lint it maybe just move the bolt over if it's over the bad spot

MoonPie
07-22-2012, 12:58 PM
Those four bolts are in front of the bad spots which if I remember correctly weren't on the original directions. Being a GXP I know you said I needed something extra or different.

Jeff@Bohnman's Electronics

The only difference between the GXP and GT is the front spacers need to be made a little shorter

No they come a little long so you can trim them to fit your bumper. We found that some bumper require a little longer spacer than others. The spacer is made from plastic so it can easily be trimmed with a hand file or bench grinder. You could even use a sanding disk and a drill or even concrete if you were in a pinch.

Remove approximatly 3/16" from the spacers as you recieve them double that shoudl put them pretty close.

Jeff@Bohnman's Electronics
07-25-2012, 09:35 AM
We had one person back out for personal reasons so there is still one avalable for the group buy price.

Also if anybody knows incon3037r can they please let him/her know that payment is past due.

Thanks for the support guys.

Sorry for holding up the group buy guys. As Jeff said, I will be making my payment before C.O.B. Friday. I didn't think these would go so fast and chose to spend my money on some other parts for my G8.

Will this fit on a Chevrolet Lumina SS. It is basically the same car as the G8, with slight cosmetic difference. The front bumper is slightly different.

Post 16 in this thread has the install instructions.

Glad people are getting there's how do they look? We tried a new packaging method takes us 1/2 the time that it did before with card board. Cost a little more but we thought the time out weighed the cost.

Mine had no damage at all. Some of the plastic had torn in the middle but the bubble wrap was still in place and protected it. Hopefully can install it tonight at work. Thanks again

It showed up with no damage or even ripped plastic. The plan is to get it installed this weekend. Are the bolts in the kit stainless?

Jeff@Bohnman's Electronics

The bolts are zinc plated.

Good to hear that the packaging worked.

I have a chip on the drivers side nose, noticeable when you look for it. Installed today with ease, 15-20 minutes lining up and making it even on both sides, then about ten minutes installing the nuts and bolts with this puppy:
http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l511/SigMundr/22B4D9DA-7A45-43D5-93BB-C42426E7521B-1967-000001B41502D7F4.jpg

What's funny is the only reason I hopped on it today was I just got the car back from the body shop. I had originally asked them to install it. They said no problem. Halfway through the week they told me they weren't comfortable installing it. I was like ok, I guess there are pussies everywhere. Doing a little recon for the planned install tomorrow and notice the two middle 7 mm bolts are missing along with the clips so I went ahead and installed it with relative ease. Looks like they attempted to install it, got sand in their pussies and bailed without even re-installing the clips and 7 mm bolts which is easier than wanking with cocoa butter. I've removed and re-installed them at least three times.

Didn't have to shorten the plastic pieces at all and it has survived a quick acceleration to 100 mph, Tuesday we'll see how it survives 150 plus MPH.
