Yeah, I was told 3-4 weeks as well. Then they said they shipped it after 7 weeks.. I waited another week and called to find out they didn't ship it. So then they shipped someone else's order to me because my car was taken apart waiting for it. So frustrating for a 2k bumper.

Here's one.. I have to re-size the others. This one was taken at a local meet this weekend.

The fitment is pretty good for aftermarket. However.. the top part of the grill area has a bigger gap (in-between the grill and the hood)

so pretty. Does your car has headlight washer? If so how hard is to remove it?

Yes, it did have headlight washers. It's not hard to remove. The pump is behind the passenger fender. Headlight washers were so useless. I don't know what the purpose of it was lol.

Thanks~ Well I think the main function of it is to wash off snow on the headlight, but it often fail this task.
