Has Anyone Done A Front Bumper Facelift On Older Year GTS!?

Has anyone bought one of these bumpers?
I found one off eBay and then on their website for only $2100 and talked him down to $1900 + shipping

Has anyone done a front bumper facelift on their older year gt?
Any advice?
Is it worth it to pay double on a bumper from a American website?
What other parts do I need for install?

I think all bets are off with a part like this. Nothing to compare it to unless someone here converted to it. This isn't a facelift part as much as it is a modification. Did the supplier provide you pictures of the back?

the supplier said the bumper is built after the order is placed and he doesn’t have a picture of the back
I don’t mind doing the modification but I’m just worried about fitment!?
the holes for the sensors aren’t drilled inn the bumper. I don’t know if that’s a bad thing or not !?

And also it’s a huge price difference compared to $6120 on this website

You’ll need a lot of parts for the conversion. I’ve done it with an OEM bumper. Look for OEM bumpers will full grill assembly, it will save you money in the long run.
