Reunel Fit and Finish?
Everyone, I've been looking at the Reunel bumpers and was curious how the fit and finish is? How about customer service? If you have one (front or rear), please post your experience with 'em. Thanks!

I have a rear. It's extremely stout, almost to the point of being rediculous. I needed a floor jack to lift it into place. The fit? It didn't. One of the mounting holes were slightly misaligned. Customer Service? Good, they sent me a reamer to open the hole slightly, but offered to have the bumper picked up at no charge and returned to CA (from MA). Finish, one word. Sucks. There is no paint on the backside of the bumper so it rusts quickly. There are several unwelded seams that allow the rust to weep thru to the front causing staining. I would recommend caulking the entire inside of the bumper and giving it a shot of paint before application.

Thanks for the input, Commatoze. I guess I could see if they can ship them unpainted. That would give us a chance to touch up any welds before Linexing or powdercoating it. Thanks!
