    I don't know I wonder what it would cost to get this stuff to the States or do they have a distributor here I didn't look that deep but there's a bunch of these popping up people that will send you various and sundry pieces already painted so not really surprising but I don't know the company No I don't even know who this freedex review system is or any of that

    I read on a forum that the replacement front bumpers were very thin and wobbly and difficult to fit but that was dated in about 2018.
    I'm wondering if they've got any better since then

    Usually that's what happens the aftermarket starts with the nonsense thin wobbly don't line up good All of that kind of stuff for a given make or model or what have you and then they get it corrected or what have you so I don't know if anybody advertises the gauge of their ABS or poly or whatever this material is it's stamped on the back of it but you know I know some fender liners are more heavy duty than the factory Toyota Styrofoam or whatever that hard plastic is that breaks when you smack it so there's always that lot of times some aftermarket parts will actually be designed a little better than the originals like these fender liners that I can get from my 2013 and my generation twos they're just a little heavier a little more pliable and they'll bend fully without breaking
