Xtreme Motorcars 996 to 997 GT3 Bumper

Has anyone has any experience with this bumper or if not, working with Xtreme Motorcars?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-986-Boxster-996-997-GT3-front-bumper-NEW-/180538484952?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Part s_Accessories&hash=item2a08eea8d8

I like the bumper and I like that it's poly, I just don't want to get into a fit and finish nightmare.

Thanks in advance for your help.

J.D.

I have worked with Jeff@Xtreme Motorcars in the past. The bumper you have inquired about has excellent fit and finish, also if you have any questions, he normally gets back to you the same day. A real nice guy to work with. We are currently installing his 996 to 997 gt3 front end, taking pictures and noting actual labor time as we go along. As side note, we also have pics of how we installed the Blinder laser jamming system on this style of bumper.
