I would strongly advise against using Wicked Motorsports in CA. I had a very difficult experience working with them and the bumper took almost 3 months to deliver. When received, it looked like a GT2 bumper, but it needed 40+ hours of body work to make it fit properly. Looks great now, but be prepared to spend 6-10K all said and done.
I have only used Precision Porsche, and am very happy with them. Everything lined up and I installed it myself.

I think Misha makes good stuff also.

I don't think anyone on this forum has tried the Duraflex... which tells you something. Steer clear.

Mine is some unknown brand... but it didn't need anywhere near 40 hours of work to get it to look good.
Precision or Misha is the way to go. I have the Misha GT2 add on wing, it's very good quality, no reason to suspect their front bumper would be any different.

I know... I got screwed. Let that be a lesson to anyone that is in the market for a new bumper.

I bought a CF Misha wing too. Tiny pitting on the leading edge but that will likely be easily filled with wax. Looks damn good, just getting ready to install. I'd certainly consider their other products based on what I've seen so far.

It tells me that I wouldn't take the chance being the guinea pig on a cheap-*** eBay bumper that is super flexible. It also tells me that if there were any data points at all, there might be justification to try it, but with out any at all... steer clear!
