Personal Experience.
I'd love to see pics Mine fit as well as OEM.

Not going to get into the authentic / knock off flame war.... but for real that fitment / quality does look a little suspect. Corners that have to be "fixed in a body shop" really isn't acceptable. Additionally if you look at the front part of the bumper cover, it looks wavy even in the pictures.

Authentic or replica, that just doesn't look up to snuff IMO.

Perhaps better pictures are warranted if thre is some kind of optical illusion going on.

Also, just noticed that the holes at the top of the bumper (for the screws that go in under the hood and hold down the weather stripping bar) aren't drilled. I know the OP mentions this but still in my book.

Doesn't look to bad at all. Glad more products lik this are getting made at an affordable price for those that may not be able to buy the real thing. I'm curious about the rear bumper.....is it going to be of the ASM AP1 style with the sungle exhaust cap? If so then I'm in

Doesnt look too bad, but i am not going to pay money for something that i have to take to a body shop and have work done to it to make it look right. I would rather have more material so i could sand it down than have less material and have to bondo up.

wow math owns you

"Shine A-Spec Front Bumper $550, now only $475! new price!
$135 Shipping to/for 48 lower US residential addresses"

half of their price of $475 is $237.5.....not $325 as this frp pos is going for
I thought they were more expensive than that so the cool thing is to buy the other replica?

The material is made out of reinforced fiberglass. It is flexible but not flexible enough for it to start looking wavy.

I will post more pictures of the flexibility later this week.

Thank You
