Got mine last week but from a different vendor for about $149, still cheap! It's polyurithane and really good cut/mold, just have to apply some heat to it to get a better mold/fitment. Now I have not taken it to a body shop so I can only go by assumption. I'm in Canada, snow heaven, and don't plan on putting it on until March at the earliest but from me dry fitting it, looks pretty good though, especially for that price.

Sorry I have to put this below....

Hey man. Good to hear that. Can't wait til you get it painted/installed in spring time. If it turns out good then I'm getting one too!

Oh man that's goin to suck. You'll either have to pick up a new bumper or sell the diffuser. The gfx cuts are in noticeable places

i finally got to install the ebay rear diffuser and fitment is about 9/10. You really need a good 3m double sided tape to install this lip. Added a blue strip found on ebay to cover a little bit of those gaps.

That looks good!! Curious, how much did you get charge to paint it? And what did you have to do to mold/fit it to the bumper? Did the body shop do it for you? Will be taking mine to the body shop next week to get a quote, Thanks.

All done by me, used all 3m double sided tape. Most shops charged $200 for paint only. I painted it myself ordered a can online for $20. 2 coats of primer, finished all the can about 3 coats and lastly clear coat. Make sure you buff the paint with a fine grit before spraying w clear coat.
