N-Type bumper

I'm looking to buy the N-Type (NISMO replica) front bumper. I was wondering if any current owners of the bumper could tell me their experiences with this bumper. How is the fitment? How is it holding up after having the bumper installed? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have it and can tell you right now it is a P-O-S. The paint (no matter how good of a paint job you got) will start to chip in 2-3 weeks. The "fiberglass" is so brittle that it will easily break. I ran something over on the freeway and it hit the bottom of my bumper forcing it to crack up top. Oh, did I mention fitment sucks? The bumper doesn't hug the driver's side headlight like it should. Thus, the result is a nice gap.

IMHO, don't waste your time or money with it and get the real thing or perhaps something else. You'll save a headache or two.

I've got the real deal and the paint issue isn't any better. It's just the nature of fiberglass. The entire nismo front is flat. So it's not even like chips can get deflected to the angle. Basically a plow.
