Just as an FYI to anyone looking for a V2 Poly bumper: do NOT buy Forcewerkz.
I received my bumper, and - to the casual eye - it looked good. There were two problems; one was immediately noticeable; the other discovered later:
1) The bumper is heavy. This isn't an injection molded piece in the way an OEM part is made. It's heavy, because it's several times THICKER - and floppier - than OEM.
2) Once it was flex primed/surfaced, it became obvious just how poor the mold they used is. There are depressed ridges/dents/dips throughout the surface of this piece, and big imperfections throughout. The first objection wasn't a deal breaker. The second, however, will take about 10 hours of professional prep to rectify, and - now that it's painted - I may have no choice but to do it.
Use caution.
