I bought my 916 front and rear bumpers from them for 2 reasons. The first was that they only wanted $100 shipping for the pair, where most of the others $100 each. The second reason is that they advertised flared versions for both front and rear. Turns out after I sent the money, only the rear was available in flared version. They also said that they would ship in a week, and it took more like a month to get the parts.

The front fit pretty well, but the body shop had to build the flare portion onto the glass. The biggest issue was the fit of the top lip of the bumper.

The rears fit for she-ite and needed lots of work to fit properly! I was not suprised because i read lots of posts on the subject, and didn't expect great quality!

I would not recomend this vendor.... it seems like a fly by night, garage type buisness to me, and they were impossible to get on the phone when the body shop was waiting for the parts to arrive. I would suggest going with one of the recomended vendors.
