'99 spec rebar for bumper

I just got mine today to finish up my '99 conversion. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought about it. it's a lot beefier looking than the usdm ones. it's a hard plastic instead of fiberglass, but looks much better made. i was considering hacking my stock rebar and using it, but now after seeing the new one, i don't even wanna consider it. for all you guys doin the conversion, get this thing!

Wondering how much you paid...and from where. Also, can you post a pic? I'm about to order the 99 front end and was considering hacking my original rebar to save $$...

okay, here's the pics. as you can tell, it has all the appropriate mounting points and bracing. if you want your 99 front to fit as it should, this is a nice piece

what are the little tabs for (3 of them) around the oil cooler inlets. Are they for the 99 driving lights or the (99)oil cooler ducting?

I have the 99 bumper as well, but I just modified my original. It worked great doing it that way but I can clearly see why the new re-bar is the way to go. Especially if the mounting tabs for the lights/duct work are part of it. I want the 99fog lights but was unsure where I was going to mount them. I guess I just spent another $375. Thanks buddy, Just kiddin.
Great pics

those tabs on the black part line up with the brake ducts and the ones on the bottom line up with the 99 spec undertray.
