Rideskinz 2014-2015 Aggressor 3 bumper interest thread - Revival
Hello there everyone,
The guys over at Rideskinz have given me permission to try and revive the 2014-2015 Aggressor 3 bumper project. When this project was actively being worked on, there were a good number of people that were interested. However, when it came time to drop deposits during pre-production, a large number of those people dropped out of the race, causing the project development to come to an end. I, for one, am extremely interested in this bumper, and I know that we'll get a great price from Rideskinz if we can get the interest up and actually move it through this time as a group-buy. The estimated price for this bumper, if we can get around 15 "seriously" interested people, is about $650. Fog lights will be an additional $40, and adding lower grille mesh will be $75. A Plug-and-Play adapter for the fog lights can be found at gen5diy.com. If you're interested in this product actually seeing the light of day, please help me get behind this. Please indicate whether you're actually planning on purchasing this as soon as the project is ready, or if you're just taking a general interest in this project with hopes to buy in the future. The following images are from Rideskinz during the final steps of the design process: Interested: 1. ghosted 2. Premiumsal 3. Jeff4la Tentative: 1. Galokai

The earlier aggressor bumpers have light options, and I'm sure Rideskinz will offer that for these. I'll verify.

I agree that they look pretty damn good. I'm awaiting word from Rideskinz on any/all potential lighting options for the Aggressor 3.

I like it, but not a fan of the LED "fog lights"! I much prefer the ZL1 fog light setup than the LED bars.. And without the fog lights, kinda looks plain.

Good luck. After the last group buy for the Aggressor 2 only 1 person had a positive turnout with the fascia. A lot of people had problems just finding a shop that would install it. The ones that did find a shop ended up paying an arm and leg to get it fabricated up and installed. The company is called Rideskinz, emphasis on skin because that is exactly what it is. The amount of fabrication that goes into making this thing work is mind numbing; which is why most shops want nothing to do with it. I ended up doing mine with the help of a friend, which worked until the temperature started to cool. I hit an animal earlier this week which damaged my paint on the fascia. I am switching back to stock and couldn't be happier. Quality of material used was poor, it flexes and distorts with temperature changes which causes the paint to crack, and the led light strips were cheap and allowed moisture to get in. Customer service was great during the buying process but once that was complete they disappeared. The return policy states the fascia can be returned as long as nothing has been done to it. This protects them so once you try to make it work your stuck with the piece of crap and they get to keep your money. The amount of money that was wasted on that fascia to try and make it work could have been used on another bumper to customize. I know I am talking about the Aggressor 2 and y'all are considering the Aggressor 3, two different fascias, but from the photos it looks like the same type of poly urethane I had to deal with. The statement on their website about poly urethane retaining it's original shape once heat is applied is questionable. With this fascia mounted on my car I have seen corners raise and body lines distort with temperature changes. I love the idea of what the fascia should look like but it seems like a mixed bag. Just trying to give some insight from personal experience. If y'all do decide to go ahead and do it good luck, you'll need it.

Thank you for the insightful feedback, I often worry of the build quality of aftermarket parts, regardless of their aesthetics. I think the OEM options that we have with the bumper are the safest bets and provide a range of customization options, be it SS, ZL1, or LS/T.
