Factory? Kidding me right? People learn your terms and stop talking out of your asses. you're going to confuse other members.

Factory = stock = oem but it doesn't equate to a product made by an aftermarket company.

The term you're looking for is "aftermarket"

sorry, aftermarket of course

"factory" I meant that it's made in factory (plant) but non in workshop on in a garage of your neighbour (that I should make )

it seemed to me that "factory" is more universal word

This is the best bumper for our car.

It's called "stock". It fits like a glove and looks better than any "aftermarket" bumper for the sedan.

it's a question of taste... personally I don't like the side nostrils (I'm not sure in this word I've took it from translator)

the main reason why I want that aftermarket bumper is for my very big intercooler that I'll have soon... If I should modify any bumper for the future TT system, so I'll take a bumper that I like more than others

they say that grafting different materials it's not a good idea

after this thread and advises of a workshop I've decieded to take another bumper made for the sedan but modify it any way... because I need large ait intakes

after I'll make it, I will show result...

thanks to all of you for the discussion

I want a switch inside my car to let my car glow like that second picture! Not that extreme though. I would be happy with just the underneath glowing. Is that expensive to do? Is it legal to drive with lights on like that?

If your workshop can't do this, I wouldn't trust them with a front end shoo..

There are materials used to graft plastic and fiberglass and have a strong bond

I have personally worked fiberglass onto a plastic bumper, its all in the prep and materials you use.
I ship the bumper I did from the southwest to new York and the owner is.still running it with out any defaults

This thread was made last year with someone asking the same question and a picture off Instagram of am actual car that had it done.

G37 coupe front on sedan

I look forward to your progress as I have also considered having the coupe front end with IPL bumper on a sedan. I have seen a mated bumper of an IPL to a sedan bumper and it looked weird with the sedan headlights.
