Carbon rear bumper for my GT3

Here is a carbon rear bumper for 997.1 GT3 I'm about to buy.
What do you guys think of the carbon rear bumper?
Good or bad?

Please give me some comments. Many thanks.

I think the factory one looks better and plastic is a much better material for a bumper. I would save the money.

Could you PM me pricing and do they make it for the .1RS wider body?
Thanks

Keep the OEM....it looks way better. Spend your $ on a Fabspeed bypass.

That bumper looks pieced together and changes the GT3's lines. I would stay away from that.

It doesn't look bad to me, but be prepared for it to explode on impact. I would be hesitant just because of the propensity for damage there. When carbon fiber goes, it goes, and is not commonly repairable. That is fine on a spare-no-expense GT2RS, Astin, Ferrari, or for a racer that needs to save a pound at any cost if he can. For us regular folks...think it over.
