You have to keep an eye on the aftermarket Industry, cause they'll pull crap like that.
The Duraflex bumper is made out of fiberglass it says... This material belongs on a Ghetto Civic not on a Stang!
They're proud of the fact that it's not urethane material and because of that, this bumper is junk. LOL
Also, those guys ever wondered why is it that car manufacturers never, EVARR, make bumpers out of fiberglass?
Because a bumper cover is supposed to withstand 5mph crash and fiberglass will crack on vibration alone, forget a light collision tap.
Anyway, I'd stay away from that brand or any other that sells fiberglass bumpers...

Typically a front GT500 bumper is not a direct swap for a GT or V6 bumper. The hood is usually different between them too. This was the same on 05-10 models so it doesn't surprise me for the 2011+ models.
The rear bumper is the only easy swap item.
