I got mine for around that price. Not from that seller. Keep in mind a cheap replica will require a more expensive paint job that will need filler, etc to make the surface smooth without speckles.

There is a CL seller who is offering it for $95 picked up. I also know a guy from caliber collision who will paint it for $100.

Thanks, and who do you know that will paint it? Does the $100 include install?

Is an ACS look really want you want or do you plan on getting an m tech or m5 bumper...if the latter..I say just wait and save up for that....you'll end up saving time and money in the long run if you just exercise a little patience....your location puts you at advantage as most vendors are located close to you: so purchase, paint, and install will be easily sourced and fairly priced....
that's $0.02
