Heh, if you want me to tell you about the replica I will, but don't keep reading if you're set on a replica bumper...

Basically, bought the bumper from 350zforums.org for $309.00 picked up locally. I didn't know what to think when i got it but noticed a few chips and cracks. Sent it over to the body shop (they do an amazing job and match paint PERFECTLY). The next day I get a call telling me that the bumper is complete crap. The fiberglass chips when you touch it practically, too thin, and fitment was good but not perfect. Turns out this fiberglass bumper had some bubbles and they proposed they bake it to get all the other bubbles out. After that they needed to dig out the holes and fill them. I got quoted a couple days later 8-10 hours of extra work total (just to get the bumper ready for prime and paint). I agreed and they continued. About 20 hours end up being put into this bumper (according to the shop) and they are certain that any sort of hit will destroy the thing beyond repair (good thing it's the rear bumper and most people have insurance). They also had to add all the holes for mounting, which caused more problems with chipping and what not. All in all, it was an insurance deal, I bought the bumper and exhaust for $900 total and had $1300 in credit with the body shop for parts. I ended up getting a check for $800. I basically paid $100 for the bumper and exhaust installed. Go me.

As for the pics you guys want, I'm going out to do it right now.
edit: Camera is out of battery power, will post pics tomorrow.

Amazing paint match, being that even the stock bumper doesn't color match that good.

Yes, a lot of people do that, but by the same token, a lot don't. Obviously it's up to the person who's doing it. I went the route of all blue because of the titanium tips on the exhaust now being able to match the rest of the car. I thought a lot about the black and I think it looks really nice, but haven't seen it with my color. I think the black mesh ties everything together nicely.

I can appreciate the work done on the car, but I'm just not feeling the bumper.

Not a fan of the bumper. However, the paint work is top notch!
