Fit & finish of gt3tek rear bumper?

Has anyone had experience wit the gt3tek rear bumper bumper?

http://www.gt3tek.com/products/997gt3poly.htm

This is a polyurethane bumper for the narrow body 997.1.

Will my autobody shop need to adjust or alter this part to get it to line up with my 997.1, or will it fit, as molded?

The gt3tek website shows how to stretch the part and prep it for painting by removing the wax coating, but I was wondering if any cutting, reshaping, filling of surface imperfections, or re-drilling of mounting holes is necessary on this part? (If so, is it extensive or minor?).

If you've used this part on your 997, please share your experience about the fitment, quality and durability of this part?

Tphan, your car looks great!
Thanks for the tip about Misha.
Is the Misha bumper Fiberglass or (the flexible) Polyurethane?
Do you know if there is a part number for the one you have installed?

Thank you.
It's polyurethane & very light, I don't have the part no. sorry!

Like to comment about the finish, the front and rear bumper both were painted by same shop, same day, same painter. Close up in bright light the rear look grainy texture like whereas the front look OEM. Maybe because the front bumper is Porsche OEM. It was already Atlas Grey and only $550.00 can't complaint much.
