Quick question about GT2 bumper fitment

I have a car which has a true GT2 front end, meaning the radiators have been adjusted and such. For arguements sake, will a "GT2" bumper from Vivid or Mashaw fit onto the front end of a GT2? I am trying to save myself some money, and I am sure the OEM bumper costs an arm and a leg!

From what I understand ... an OEM GT2 bumper is about the price of an aftermarket... or perhaps even less. Aftermarket GT2 bumpers are priced a little higher since they consider the cost of adjusting the radiators and ish. And if you already have your radiators adjusted... not sure if an OEM GT2 bumper would fit ...

If the radiator has been change then no it won't work. The OEM bumper by itself isn't that bad to buy. It's all the surrounding parts. I think it's about 1.5K by itself.
