My bumpers arrived yesterday.
I know other people here have bought these before..
They seemed to be packed well and weren't damaged in shipping
They do look very nice.. I don't have a factory bumper handy to check the thickness of the metal,
but they do seem lighter than stock to me off hand.
My car isn't here now, so I can't check fit yet,
but they do appear to be well made.

I would think they will scratch easier than chrome,
but unlike chrome, they should
be able to be polished out.

These only come in the later rear bumper style with the more curved edges.

The cost was 1710.00 delivered to my door. A vendor from Georgia is selling them for quite a bit more,
unless you send him good cores and then charges 139.00 shipping.
Took 20 working days to be made. They said this is their busy season

Time will tell if they hold up well I guess.

A few pictures.
