How do I order one side hood and trunk trim and the front center piece.  I did not see a way to order anything but a complete set on the site. I want to make mine complete.  Thank you.

Email me at chris@02bumpers.com and I will take care of you! 

This is a big score for someone! I love my 123 distributor

Do you have the rear bumper over riders?

Hey Mario! I have not forgotten about you! I am still trying to get these done. I will keep you posted.

Hi! I'm interested in purchasing a set of long bumper guards for my front bumper. However, this is an early bumper with no impact strip along the ends of the bumper. I know the small bumper are correct for this type of bumper, but like the look of these later ones. Do you have these available, and if so, how long before they can be shipped out?

Yes, I still have inventory available at the flash sale price. But they are moving fast!

Do you have any used chrome bumper sets available in good condition?

 

thanks, Steve

Hey Steve, 

I might have a set of #2 chrome bumpers (not stainless steel) that I can dig out. I'll snap some pics and get at you with pricing. Are you looking for a shorty set? You can email me at chris@02bumpers.com

@Mario Falfan is very happy with the new stainless steel belt line trim he got from 02 Bumpers! Mario developed a method to install the door trim pieces to the OE plastic clips. Here is what he did: 

Here are the pictures of his upgraded stainless steel door time installed:

Thank you @Mario Falfan!

Aren’t you the seller that you’re linking to? That’s pretty shady, if so. (I’ll leave it at that, in case you’re not, but my research into another project with another vendor would have me question buying from them.)

 

Also, I know that $50 is $50, but I’d rather support the original creator of this product than someone who (it seems) made an end around to get the same item and charge a fraction less. If there’s a lot more to this story, I apologize in advance, but this just seems off. 

I do appreciate the sentiment. It took me a lot of work, years, blood, sweat, tears and headaches to get this belt line trim to market.Haha, seriously though, I appreciate the post. Thank you.

Sorry no rears on sale. 

Selling a pair of front seats for a friend. The seats are in decent shape there is some tears in the drivers side seat but the passenger side is in good shape. I might ship them if someone is willing to cover the cost of freight. Please respond to the ad or PM me on the FAQ. Thanks for looking!

UPDATE: 3 Front bumpers left at this pricing

That sounds good Chris. I had my aluminum trim pieces de-anodized and then polished so they look very close to stainless steel now. I didn’t have them re-anodized so they will always be polished along with the stainless steel. Let me know the price for the 3 pieces. 

Thanks

Hey Dave, 

I will be getting in a bulk order in 2-3 weeks that will have enough sets where I can break a couple up and sell the individual pieces. I will keep you posted on that.

Chris,

I'm still interested in knowing if you are ready to sell individual trim pieces yet. I would like the 3 hood pieces if possible.

Thanks

Dave, 

The match will be a little off if you decide to go with single pieces. The stainless steel, when compared to the stock anodized aluminum, is much more of a bright mirrored finish. If the mismatch doesn't bother you,  I have a shipment of 10 sets coming in the next couple weeks and could potentially be willing to break up a set if they haven't been sold. I'll keep you posted.

Can you sell p/n 51315480122 only, I need all 4 pieces.

 

I will order some extra sets of belt line seam cover clips for you. Anyone else have any interest? $35 plus shipping for all 4 pieces.

@02bumpers Chris, any updates on the install videos and documentation?

 

Also, would love to see and hear from anyone who has installed the latest, revised trim sets. How did they fit? Any issues with install?

 

Thanks, James

Hey James,

I'm working on getting the video out here shortly. It will be available to those who purchase the kits. I am past the r&d stage with my exclusive manufacturer and everything is fitting and looking great. I have sent out 5 sets and will pass the feedback along once I get it. I have 10 more sets coming in the next shipment, 5 of which are spoken for and 5 that are available for purchase. I will let you know once the video is finished! Thank you for the interest

I'd like to order your trim but am concerned about why they have to be mounted with the metal clips and not use the plastic ones all around, except in the corners like the originals. I just put my front and rear door panels back on after a total restoration and have no desire to remove them again to be able to get to these metal mounting clips. It's a total pain in the ass especially when the whole area is covered with Dynamat and Dynaliner. Will the plastic clips not hold the stainless moulding?

Thanks

It is not guaranteed that the beltline will fit over the plastic clips due to the varying states of integrity of each clip for each 2002. I have successfully installed trim with the clips but I found the worn out clips wouldn't hold the trim effectively. So, I was going to have to replace the old clips with new plastic clips anyway, so I decided to make stainless steel fasteners that will never wear out and will never have to be replaced.

I've heard here and there about trim clip kits that used stainless steel bits to replace the factory plastic clips. These were apparently developed and sold by an 02 enthusiast.

I would love to obtain a set of these for beltline trim. Even just a handful of them would be helpful.

Thanks in advance. Even if you don't have a set to sell, I could use decent leads to the maker of said clips.

 

How many do you need? I may have some extras lying around from my stainless steel beltline kits.

@02bumpers Thanks for the thorough response Chris. Much appreciated. I'll keep an eye out for the installation video and supporting documentation.

 

Do you have an estimate of timing for delivery once a trim order has been placed?

 

Also, what's your estimate on catching up to back orders on the bumpers? 

 

Thanks, James

Hey James, 

I am at around 5-6 weeks lead time for sets that are ordered now. This will become shorter once I have an inventory going but that will happen after this first shipment. I will do my best to keep an inventory so you guys don't have to wait, but the sets are going quick and the first shipment is going to have 20 sets in it, half of those have been claimed. 

Lead time is 4-5 weeks for bumper sets. But sets that were ordered from Dec18-april19 will be all caught up in June.

Good info. Thanks, Chris. I’ll likely be doing your bumpers and trim, but I have some other mechanical and body work to do beforehand. 

 

As an aside, are there any issues (legally or with insurance companies) removing 76 D.O.T. bumpers? I know they don’t serve any protective purpose above 5mph, but I’m curious if you have any info, either way, as to the outside world’s acceptance of “structural” mods that aren’t structural. My friend did fiberglass bumpers on a 60 something 911, but I don’t think there were ever any regulations on those. 

 

Thanks again for some great looking products. 

As far as I know the 5mph bumpers that are on the late model 2002's are not within the safety standard for the cars on the road today. The 5mph bumpers are a 40 year old standard so I think you should be good with the switch. I have never heard of an insurance company making a stink about it.  But I am not 100% on this, so proceed with your own judgement. Our bumpers are fairly robust and will be able to absorb some of the energy of an impact but in all reality, a 2002 in any state will take a beating from most cars out on the road today. Any insurance guys have any insight on this?

I’m curious, too. (In the event that Chris is sending direct messages and not putting up new posts.) I have all of my trim pieces, but they’re dinged and I am ready to send it all out to a specialist for repair and replating for a guaranteed fit (at a higher cost) if I have to. As the new parts from BMW have fitment issues, ignoring anything aftermarket, it’d be awesome if this set didn’t. Also, is there any special care needed for this stainless as opposed to the aluminum from the factory? (Does it require polishing? If so, how often? Does the paint need to be masked off? Etc.)

Hey Seth, 

I have been pretty busy with private messages and with guys on the Facebook side of things and have unfortunately pushed off the FAQ post as a result. I have been unfaithful hahaha please forgive me!! ?

As far as the fit, please read the above post, I think I may have answered your question. There is really no special care needed besides general cleaning and maybe the occasional polish. But the shine comes through as long as you didn't just go rally the Baja 4000. Jokes aside, they will outlast the OEM easily. Paint does not need to be masked off but, I do recommend taking extra care while securing the fasteners, you want the fit to be tight but you don't have to go crazy on it. Let me know if I got all your questions covered!
