        Sad this even needs to be said .... I actually looked for a Bronzit on purpose not realizing the prejudice they faced.

          No kidding! We are trying to sell a plastic bumper 4 door 325i right now, and if it had been any color but Bronzit, it probably would have sold already. But alas, so much prejudice.. It's probably the third Bronzit car I've had pass through my fingers.

          Keep it clean and going the direction you are, be that shinning beacon of hope!

            Looks nice OP. I could really use a set of OEM splashguards for my late model e30 !

            Do you know how many coats of paint and clear were applied?
            Also, care to let us know how much this cost?
            If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                  Super lame the OEM flaps are NLA, although not as horrible as the floor mats being NLA.
                  I think I remember the shop quoting a friend $5,500-6k to do his plastic bumper vert. I have a long relationship with the shop and they have done a ton of work for myself and my family, so they really hooked me up. I had a $2,500 insurance settlement from a little hit and run on my panel just above the taillight and I threw a splash of cash on top to get the entire car done.

                            It looks great. I agree about the painting the lip, only do it if you get the skirts as well.

                                My Bronzit baby will be getting a respray in the next couple of months. Yours looks great!

                                Another in the "leave it black" camp. That's what I plan to do with mine and keep the trunk spoiler painted.

                                Side note, I was almost t boned yesterday. Bronzit curse?
