Well if i'm the first one to receive this bumper i feel pretty dang lucky.
It just arrived a few hours ago at my workplace. I took the opportunity to unload it myself off the trailer at dock door #4.
A few co-workers were gazing at it followed by complements and questions. One guy went on and on about his "awesome" brush guard. Shrockworks was a foreign word.
Short time later, my bro stopped by and we threw it in the back of his Taco. He dropped it off at my place while i completed my shift.
I came home and demounted this hunk of steel from the pallet it was bolted to. The simple packaging method that Shrockworks used was ingenious.
The extensive detail and perfection put into this bumper can be admired for years. I really tried to find any kind of defect or flaw with it but instead, i kept seeing an absolutely amazing work of art. Every single feature was done with exceptional brilliance. The welds and seams are stunning. All the brackets, light mounts, curves, and aesthetics make you wonder how in the world they came up with such a PERFECT design.
Thank you Shrockworks! You guys did an amazing job.

Damn, I sure wish I could afford the difference between one of these and the ARB I just ordered for $665 shipped 
It's not too late, but may mean the difference between getting a bumper this month or waiting a few more.

That is one badass bumper. Think I might have to get one of these if they do in fact make one for use with limited flairs. I already have PIAA 510s so maybe I'll just have to order one... 
Limited flairs model still being evaluated?

Just curious, but why POR? I've used this stuff before and was less than satisifed with it. Granted, I did not use all their products as instructed - first the cleaner, then the medal-ready, a few coats of the finish coat and finally a clear coat. Maybe had I done so, it would have turned out better for me. You must have had better luck with it then I did. If it were me though, I'd just powdercoat it.
I'm doing the whole step process and saw it done before...it turned out awesome. I'm a believer in the stuff.
I'll be using the cleaner, metal ready, por-15, and then por-15 top coat. IMO, when applied correctly, it's just as good if not better than powder coat. I'll also being using it for my sliders, custom rear bumper, and various other parts so everything will match.

Well POR-15 is way easier to touch-up, whereas powder coating isn't.

Blinkers
Yes, the blinkers are a standard bayonet base bulb that can be swapped out for LED's. I plan on doing that as soon as I receive my bumper. I went by the shop yesterday and Nick showed my my completed bumper on the rack. It is going to the powder coater today and hopefully will be back next week. I can't wait!
