Any competent body shop should be able to install it with no problem.

Yup! Car is being assembled in the next few days. crossing my fingers

BTW Precision sells this bumper for under $1500... I believe the Original Techart bumper is close to $7K+. It was really a no brainer for me. Considering the fact that the Techart piece is also fiberglass the difference in what may be percieved as a better quality was offset by the huge difference in price. FWIW... I've seen both the original TA bumpers and also the precision replicas and the quality/fitment differences are so small that they are non-exsistent IMHO. As long as you have a good body shop to install that is. Both parts will need prep to get fitment.
Not taking anything away from CEC or Techart. But I bought front, rear bumpers and side skirts. Had a great body shop install them and am still under the price of just the TA front bumper alone...

Although the TechArt bumper is fiberglass, it's a very high-quality grade. It also has a kevlar backing to increase the strength of the bumper. What a lot of people don't realize is that TechArt does a lot R&D when they produce their aerodynamics. Wind tunnel and track testing aren't cheap. It's easy to recreate something at a cheaper price when the quality of the material used are insufficent and the development has already been done. It's not a knock against anyone making replica parts, but there are a lot of reasons why the price is what it is. In the end, you get what you pay for...
