Default dude, PPI = more than 2400 JUST for the rear bumper+fins...USD!!!

I bought this for 200.... Maybe another 200 for the bodywork to make it fit right.

Default there are more issues involved with the ebay knock off than $200 worth of body work

others have tried this route from what I remember to give up entirely - there are bumper issues underneath that are also a problem. there's a reason why it's so cheap - but if you like that look, go for it.

Default money is not the issue

It will never fit right. Take a look at the available pics--look closely at the corners and the crappy alignment.

Do a search and realize that you must sacrifice your personal safety by removing the crash bumper to get it on your car at all.

Too bad they can't get the rear Dietrich bumper.
