Will these fit the non-m aero bumper?

I really don't know for sure. I know the answer is somewhere on the forums, but you can ask the guys at APR Performance if it will.

IIRC - No

Send an email to Jim Rimmer Jim@vividracing.com. He gave me a tracing number for my order.

Man, how come as soon as I ordered one from Tony at APR all of these second hand and new and never used ones pop up for sale cheaper? I never even knew Vivid sold these at group prices and even covered for the freight shipping! Oh well, anyways it's definitely worth getting and also makes the car look a lot more aggressive in the front. I'm definitely loving mind. I decided to get the additional tie rods so they can be bolted onto the body in the rear for extra support just in case I'm going too fast!

Yeh sorry you didn't get to jump on this one. It's much cheaper than what Tony is selling his for also. Anyway at least you got what you wanted. I was going to pay APR price for mine if I didn't find this great deal at Vivid.

Are these completely flat (ie no variation in 3rd dimension) as they appear in the pic? If so, $350 seems really high. Not knocking anyone for buying one, as they look great, but it seems like we should be able to copy it for a much lower price.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking (1) trace onto very thin acrylic or similar (to give a stiff yet accurate shape), then add 3 or 4 plys of carbon fiber to both sides. Or even fiberglass. The presence of the acrylic layer will act as core, generating fairly high stiffness for only a few layers of CF.
