Default Couture body kits?

I need to replace my front bumper cover and thought I would consider other options.

Foind this kit but having trouble finding any info on install, finished pictures (other then mfr) fit/finish.

https://www.semotors.com/couture-97-...-bumper-cover/

Would appreciate any feedback and other options you might want to suggest.

cheers,

CB

Don't know anything about the supplier, but it appears to be a copy of the Tiger Shark" front bumper.

The unpainted pictures show that it's from Duraflex, guessing it's just being re-branded as "Couture."

If you search for Duraflex on this forum you will find lots of bad experiences that other owners have had.

Thanks, - this is why I was looking for more info.

Could the "bad experiences" have turned into a bad reputation so they've rebranded to try and steer around it.
