i'm sure if fits just fine, if anything it'll just take a little bit of sanding here and there, and more extreme cases maybe some drilling but most body kits don't require more than that

well if it's made out of fiberglass there is always a greater chance of breaking/cracking over time... the OEM bumpers are poly urethane which is more flexible...

keep in mind that you are not buying the "buddy club" product.. but the style. Read up on customer feed back for the seller.

Fiberglass panels NEVER fit good and it takes a lot of finessing to get it just right. If someone tells you they bolt right on they're full of s---. Every kit I've worked with required a bit of adjustment.
Of course it depends on customer too, what is good to him. I can always find a flaw in bodywork.

All AIT items are made of FRP, Fiber reinforced plastic. This is one of the best fiberglass qualities in the tuning industry. The AIT bumpers will come with mesh included, and special green coating for flexibility.
sounds good to me and its not coming off ebay so there are no reveiws or customer feedback
so thats why I asked on here to see if anyone actually has experience fitting this particular bumper!?

the type of bumper is not the issue, it's how well it's made, how many times the forms were used/quality.

We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.
