Default Worth it?

I was thinking of ordering this bumper set tonight.
The bid is at 275 right now, but they sell the sets for 350$
It looks worth it considering these bumpers from brand names are like 500-600$ just for the front.
So was wondering if this is a good bumper/rear.

Seems like a good deal. The only concern I have is there is no photo's of how they mount.

They don't appear to be very solid. If your just going for the look, go for it. If you want them to be functional I'd keep looking.

Bid states they bolt to factory mounts, no drilling required. Unless Im mistaken this is not the best way to mount up bumpers you intend to use for its recovery points.

Might as well make your own bumpers if you're going to fab tie-ins. The shipping alone would bend you over for these and then that one day you get stuck and winched out from the rear, you'd have an angry fellow wheeler when you had to help him extract your spiffy ebay bumper from his grill.
