This looks custom made, it reminds me of an Eclipse aftermarket bodykit.

[[ion] C2]

Supposedly that volfenhag_alero guy designed that bumper. It also showed up an eBay one and was criticized as being photoshopped. Looks like they sell it though. I've never heard of anyone buying it or seen one with it on.

well theres the link... there is an alero venom kit on here.

[bizarre179]

I have seen that one before, but has any one here ever bough one.

[adam337]

buy it and tell us if its real

[DansGen1Alero]

buy it and tell us if its real


:haha: :haha: :haha:


I had seen it on e-bay myself, Looks pretty sweet if it is legit., but as coming from a company, I would say that it should be. (at least not a private party)

Repeat. It's a Buddy Club 2 front bumper, photoshopped.

Close please

Before jumping to conclusions and accusing Ground Dynamics of selling a nonexistant product and requesting the moderators to close this thread, why not ask them for some more views of the piece in question?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I kinda like the look of it. Smooth, yet somewhat aggressive. BUT I would also like to see more angles of it.

[clutch1]

Yea the pic's photoshopped. The car that it's on in the pic has a "forbidden" body kit and there's a pic of it with that exact angle bla bla bla. Honestly.. I REALLLLLLY want to see what it'd look like if it was real. I agree, someone should ask them for a pic of a real one sometime.


These are pretty sweet though!

[01OldsAleroGt]

ok... but if it is an apparently shop.. why would a company have it on their site tho ?!?!

i think it may be time to truly investigate more into it and find out

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I think it could highly possibly be real, why would there be a price on it if it was a fake?

[[ion] C2]

Send them a message and ask about it.

[natedawg9640]

it might be real but that pic is without a doubt a chop. maybe it was a scam picture, or maybe it's a gauging interest picture. regardless, if it was produced, i'm sure someone would be able to vouch for its existance. and since no one has ever seen it, of any other angles of it... i'd doubt it's real

[01OldsAleroGt]

well ground dynamics is def a big company out in the inland empire in so cal... confirmed it with my friend.. plus i called the number listed on the site... they are in alot of the Sport Compact mags.... im gonna get in touch with em monday and see wtf is that venom kit about and gettin other images on the besides that just one alero or even if it is just that alero... at least several pics from all angles

[heineck]

im thinkin imma order it im alreadry gettin an andys kombat kit for 300 i might givr this venom a try and break from the pack nahm sayin?

[heineck]

i dont think ill do the canards though

[clutch1]

Ug, for those who don't believe it's a shop here's the real picture.

[Rexter9x]

Mmmmm, projector headlights. I wish.

[[ion] C2]

man i'd love to have those projectors... and some angel eyes

[01OldsAleroGt]

wtf why would a company have shit like that on their page.. well whatever..

anyways..

mmmmm i am lovin those projectors... they look good on it

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

wtf why would a company have shit like that on their page
Dunno, it could be a concept that they thought would work but no one has chose to buy yet.

[01OldsAleroGt]

well... the only thought that comes to mind is.. make the bumper... and get a diff pic.. not some shopped crap

[bizarre179]

Man, i would love to have projectors and angel eyes too...

Oh wait! I do. Lol.

[clutch1]

If I remember right Anderbra made those for him, along with his sweet LED tails, too. I'm prettyt sure tis' the only set that Anderbra made, you could probably convince him to make a few more in a group buy for the right price or something though.

[heineck]

maybe i wont LOL wat a waste!

[CiscoPath]

good thing about it is that BC2 kits can be found for cheap. And IMO, are LESS rice-y than the Kombat kit.

[[ion] C2]

If AnderbrA remade those headlight projectors, I would 100% buy them.

[spinalator]

Looks like it would be good to push snow off my driveway in the winter. Hopefully it is strong enough! :)

[super white alero1]

Bryce does make projector headlamps. Not a fan of the angel eyes. BTW I'm not jealous of projectors :lol:

[AnderbrA]

For the curious ones.... here is a link to more pics of the HID projectors. I also mounted about 6 red LEDs in each that illuminated it somethin fierce...demonic red...lol For the life of me I cannot find the pics anywhere.

I've seen those pics a couple times before, they're nice lookin'. What type of projectors did you use?

[AnderbrA]

They were Audi Projectors. I have pics someplace of them before I mounted them...again...lost someplace.

Bryce

[Rexter9x]

I would definitely get a set if there was a group buy or whatnot..... I've been wanting a set for quite awhile now.

[adam337]

i have your old set of headlamps ready to ship out for projectors when the group buy gets going. me want.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I defiantly want a pair of those projectors.

[meadus101]

Damn, Anderbra is doing good lately! lol.

[[ion] C2]

lol ya projectors ftw

[rustyballs_69]

Well I got an email back from Ground Dynamics today. I asked them if they had anymore pictures of the bumper and why they were using a photoshopped picture of an Alero that has the ********* front bumper.

They said

Well that’s exactly how it comes and those are the pictures we have….photoshopped or not it’s the real deal we don’t sell stuff that isn’t what we picture….

[heineck]

WTF not worth it

[heineck]

if u go under CAI and go by make under olds its got a pic of an alero but says bravada

[[ion] C2]

should press them to snap some pictures of their front bumper since it's the real deal

[Bad99Olds]

yea im really curious now...

[Naich]

i say they give real pics or we call official shenanigans.

[rustyballs_69]

I emailed them back asking who the manufacture of the bumper is. If they say they are I will know they are full of it because they said the picture on the site is the only picture they have.

[Mr_Reed]

lol sounds like bs man

[adam337]

i say we contact the owner of the chop and tell him how his pic is being used. sue the fuckers.

[Naich]

lol sounds like bs man

I'm about 99.9999% sure it is BS.

[deathwish666]

I would definitely get a set if there was a group buy or whatnot..... I've been wanting a set for quite awhile now.

group buy ftw

and that shiz is totally fake....honestly doesnt even look that good IMO

[DansGen1Alero]

group buy ftw

and that shiz is totally fake....honestly doesnt even look that good IMO

He was reffering to the projector headlights there post skimmer, lol

[[ion] C2]

notice his post is split in two parts

group buy ftw (projectors)

and that shiz is totally fake (front bumper)

[adam337]

yeah. post skimmer.

[rustyballs_69]

This is what Ground Dynamics emailed me back after I asked them who manufactured the bumper.

We cant give that information of the manufacturer but I can tell you that the bumper is the exact way the picture is and yes its photoshopped because the manuf. Didn’t have a car to actually take a picture of…

[[ion] C2]

Hmmmmmmmmm

[clutch1]

Lol so take a picture of just the bumper then??

I dare someone to order it, I'm curious at least.

[cherrington17]

i say they give real pics or we call official shenanigans.

I'll go get my broom! shenanigans it is!!

[Mr_Reed]

lol, someone order that crap and take a picture of how it dose not fit. It's probably off an Eclipse.

[heineck]

hahaha shenanigans dude thats the shit

[SikMindz]

There are like less than a half dozen actual manufacturers of all these kits out there on the market. GD is a distribution company mainly- a rather large one and probably one of the biggest out there. The product probably is real but no one has bought one yet and the market is not big enough to bring a car in JUST to take pictures of it installed.

How do I know? In the past with all the carbon fiber work I've done it all came from the same manufacturer and went to different companies once imported into the US. The company that was using my car was called ImportFan/C-Wings; at the time the parts for my car came out GD had the EXACT same line available through their company as a consequence of all my GA parts being passed around at the post manufacturing level with no exclusivity.

I'm pretty sure if someone buys one they'll get something that looks very similar- I'd be iffy about the fitment though. However, it's not like any other kit for your guys cars has fit perfectly off the shelf yet.

If it was any other company besides GD I'd shy away from them as a lot of smaller companies post chops/renderings to build interest and use the deposit money toward development. However as GD has been in the knock off and chop import kit game for awhile they're slightly more trustworthy.

But don't take my word for it.

[heineck]

dude sick ass GA! love the carbon fibe
