I would be asking a lot of questions about how this thing installs. I can't imagine cutting up a front bumper and trying to bolt that in.
Maybe I am missing something.

i dont mind cutting my bumper, but for $175 what do you get. the pic looks like they repainted the bumper you dont see any seems etc. its a lot cheaper than convert to z front end and fenders or those z replica bumpers.

I have had this in my 2006 Vette for 4 years now . I had a trusted body shop install the piece with no problems to date. To make it functional , requires a bit more drilling , which I don't reccomend . I have a few pics of the car in my photo section .

$175 is nuts! I, at one time, considered adding a scoop and picked up the stock Z piece from the dealer for $40ish. Never used it and returned it almost a year later. Go to the dealer and have them pull the Z front bumper up and it will identify the part and list a part #/price.

The cost is in the body work not the plastic insert.
