If its a replica, yes there is going to be fitment issues.

$495? You might as well buy the real thing.

^the real half of a bumper setup?

replicas are tricky. make sure you've already verified with a talented body shop that they are comfortable getting one to fit right. there will be challenges, easy to overcome, but the shop has to know what they are doing.

This guy hit the paydirt for you. You owe him. For an extra $100 you can have the real deal, without the fitment issues.

too bad you need another 600$ in parts to complete the bumper. that is NOT the entire thing.

Yea it's only the bumper. You'll still need the diffuser and some other things....but who's to say that replica is going to fit like a charm?

Ive only dealt with shine and strafe on the forums, as far as front bumpers go... my kit from strafe came pre drilled n fit like a glove, I prefer them over shine anyday.. Not all replicas have problems, some reps fit better than others.. some match it perfectly to oem..
