you should find another vendor who deals with urethane instead of fiberglass.

If i considered this choice I would have to pay 300$ shipping cost paypal fees, wait 5-7 weeks and at the end go to (travel) the nearst port to take care of every thing( pay more money) at the end I would be paying 800-900$ and if add the extra labor charge since it is after market and the wast of time that would be close the cost of buying OEM lorinser 1600$

all depends where do you located.
if you are located in LA,most probably the kits will reach there in 3 weeks time.
east cost takes a while.

I bought this exact bumper. It didn't fit right at first, the top four mount posts near the head lights where to short, but the guy who sells it is super cool. I live kind of local to him, so he extended the posts (by adding more fiberglass) and now its fits pretty good. After the bumper and paint, my total costs where about 900.00 But I did hear that Felix's bumpers fit right the first time. Also this bumper is 100% fiberglass, so there is not much flex, nor room for error. I think Felix's bumpers have more flex to them....So it's up to you!!
