Is it possible that this is a bumper for under $70?
Sure looks legit, and I know Partsgeek is a good vendor. Hell, as crappy as my bumper looks I really can't go wrong unless the fit and overall quality is complete garbage. Thoughts?

Just put one in the cart and it's $125 to ship it, it'd really be awesome if you could pick it up
I removed the bumper a couple times and those bumpers probably only weigh about 20 pounds or less

shipping oversized items is more about the dimensions than it is about weight. Thats why when we re-package items, we make sure it doesn't go pass a certain combined length. An item can cost an extra $100 just for being 1" over the limit of being called oversized.
bumpers are definitely oversize items.

now about the quality though.. I've considered vendoring cheaper made replicas.. but found them to be REALLY painful to deal with.. fitting is terrible so you have to work on the bumper alot (really annoying to bodyshops) and sometimes you have to kinda wedge it into shape and screw it on, so theres some flexing going on.

overall just no fun. be careful buying bumpers like this.

Now, with all this said, I'd be interested in knowing how it is, IF you do buy it.

Ehh..I had a bad experience with ParksGeek in the past. Ordered a fender liner for right side of my Camry and they sent me a left side. They wanted me to pay for the return shipping before they can send me the right side. Sent them multiple emails and kept getting the run-around by their customer servicerepresentatives. Finally I decided I had enough and wrote them a final email threatning to explain their business practices on forums. A manager called me back to apologized and immediately sent me a left fender liner. And this took a MONTH to resolve!

I believe all their parts are used and doesn't come with hardware. Don't quote me because I may be wrong.

I WOULD NEVER DO BUY ANYTHING FROM PARTSGEEK AGAIN.

Bummer, I've bought small items like filters, sun visors etc from them and never had any trouble.
At any rate, you do usually get what you pay for.

Don't buy from PartsGeek. They are a scam! I had ordered some EBC green and yellow stuff brake pads from them. Not only did they forget to ship me my items, when they arrived they had sent me brake pads for a damn Renault and a 1998 Maxima!!! I had tried to call but they don't have one so you can't call them. I emailed them and it took them 2 weeks to reply after countless and countless emails. Then when they did reply they told me that it was too late for me to return them and that I should have checked what I ordered! I look at my receipt and it say, "EBC Green G37 brake pads and EBC Yellow G37 brake pads!"
I emailed them back speaking in all French and they told me that it was my fault and that he was a legit business........how he has been doing business for over a decade and how I can't even read and know nothing about cars....
Dude, I would request your money back if you sent it through paypal and NEVER ORDER FROM THEM!

You can try
Car Part Wholesale - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - Bumper Cover For 2009 Infiniti G37

I'm buying parts to fix up a Jetta from them and they seem very reasonable ATM I have only test fitted a hood and it fit perfectly I also had issues with a front bumper (I ordered wrong one) not only did they refund my money they also let me keep the bumper. I can let you know how the bumper fits when I get around to it if you wish.
