Default Review of eBay painted Cobra bumper/pics

So after a long search for a Cobra bumper and discussions with several forum members I finally pulled the trigger. This is my review of this particular bumper from eBay that is already painted. I was of course a little hesitant only because of the price. $324 painted to match and shipped. But after talking with a few guys it seemed it was a good buy so I ordered it. They offer a best price so I bid $300 and they took it. The order was placed on 2/10 and their website says it takes about 20 days after payment to ship due to painting and how busy they are. After patiently waiting for about 2 weeks I finally received a tracking number and it showed up at my door on 3/1 from FedEx. No box, just wrapped in plastic. I thought, oh crap this can’t be good. Once I got it inside I started tearing into it. The first layer was just plastic. It was then wrapped in cardboard. Once I had that off it was then wrapped in bubble wrap. After I pulled all that off the final layer was some sort of fabric, kind of like a sock that the whole bumper was placed in. The corners were doubled over so they would not get damaged. Overall it was packaged very well. Once I had it all unwrapped I began looking over the paint. I gave them my paint code and all I can say is that it matches perfectly. No scratches, nicks or overspray. There was some buffing material that I had to wipe off, but overall it looked great for an aftermarket bumper. So today I spent the afternoon installing it. Since it did not come with fender attachments I had to remove the ones off my GT bumper. They were just riveted on so off they came. I riveted them back onto the Cobra bumper and proceeded to install. The install went well. The bumper fits like a glove with no modifications what so ever. I still need to get the bezels and the grille kit which should be here in about a week. I will also be able to use fogs since the bumper clears my piping. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would put this at a 10. Fit and finish is spot on. So if anyone is interested this is the place to go. Now onto the pics.

They state they can get other parts you just have to send them a message. They respond really quick.
