Knock off front Kenstyle bumper VS the real deal! Report!

I hate to even post this cause Im not a BIG fan of the fake kits. BUT I know a lot of you are thinking about buying and if you do I thought I would give you a report on the 350zforums kit. I ordered the real deal a couple months ago for my car. All I needed was the rear bumper. I sold the sides and still have the front left over, still trying to sell it. Anyway my best friend is on a tight budget, yes I know then why does he drive a G. You know how some guys are.lol ANYWAY, I contacted 350forums and placed a order for him. I told my buddy I would spray it for him but to expect to do some work on his knock off cause they ALWAYS need work. The bumper came today and when I pulled it from teh box I almost fell over. Keep in mind I have the real one sitting on my pool table, so they side by side. IM BLOWN AWAY! This bumper looks good! It will need a bit of glaze but for the price Im shocked! It is thicker then the real one though. And he will have to buy the screen and fogs. But all in all this was a hell of a deal! I just thought I would post here cause a lot of you are on the fence. I REALLY think Kenstyle should split up their kits. This is going to hurt them BIG TIME! If anyone wants I can post side by side pics.

but since u dont have the fog lights, where would u get them? It'll look really stupid with just holes there...and u also don't have the front emblem. What do you mean by screens? I'm really interested in the replica now!

Steve,
Thats good to hear. Looks really good to me. Guess if I ever crack my KS bumper, will just replace with replica, since KS is not seperating pieces. Let us know how fitment goes when its installed.
