Mike, nice bumper - I'm ordering one today. Is that the "standard" powdercoat finish or the optional satin black which is about $100 more? Supposedly the new standard finish has a bit of a texture to it and has somewhat of a shine to it. I like the way yours looks, so want to know which it is.

Mike, OK cool, then I may just go with that. Is there a slight texture to it?

I don't notice much of a texture to it, seems smooth to me. Not sure if they changed their powder coating recently. you may want to ask James or Sarah.
Sarah is finding out for me. I hope you dont mind, I emailed your pictures to her as reference to what I want mine to look like. It sounds like they may have changed to a new powder coater within the last few weeks, so yours may the the "old original standard" if you know what I mean. When I originally placee the order, here is what Sarah gave me as options:
Our bumpers currently come in a textured black finish, but the texture is not too heavy and it does have a nice shine. Satin black powder coat is available, it would be a custom order and is approx $100 more.
I am ordering today, but Sarah is going to get me more info based on the pictures of Mike's above. So my order is really not placed yet. I do want it to look like above, not glossy. I guess it would be best to have some side by side pictures of the old, new, and optional satin - just so we can compare. I'm expecting it to match what I see on the website, which looke like Mike's.
If it was a $200 bumper, I would not worry much, but at this price I just want to make sure I'm getting the right thing so that I'm satisfied. After spending a week going over all of the brands, this is the one I like the best, obviously.

Thanks Desi, let us know. I would hope, in the future, when I get my rear bumper that it would have the exact same powder coat as the front!
