GT3 front bumper cover

I found a guy with a supposed exact replica GT3 front bumper cover made by Jackman for sale for $500. (Fits my 99' C2)

Has anyone had experience with non OEM front bumper covers such as this?

Is this a good deal?

u better see the bumper in person before u buy it. u might find the price attractive first but running into problems when u paint & install it later which might end up costing alot more $ than u expect. not saying it's bad already but just to give u a heads up.

Run away, Run away...

Stick with OEM on the GT3 bumpers. The oem bumper is plastic and flexable. And the OEM lip is replaceable since it will scrape on lowered cars. Also fiberglass aftermarket bumpers chip easier and the paint prep costs may exceed the total cost for an oem setup installed and painted. Also if you bump something the aftermarket will crack. Additionally only the OEM looks OEM since there is plastic support pieces that you can see from the outside that aftermarket fiberglass and "poly" ones don't do.
