Default Need some help on identifying a bumpers authenticity

i bought the 96-98 airwalker front bumper from a buyer a few months back who told me and swore to me that the bumper was real...

what i noticed about the bumper is that it doesnt come with the airwalker stamp on the inside...

i saw a picture on here from Jeremy D Swain's build thread and his airwalker bumper had the stamp, but it was for the 99-00...

does the 96-98 come with the stamp too or was it only the 99-00...

this is the stamping im referring to.

hmm...so some of them came with it and some of them didnt? was your guy's bumper white fiberglass or black?

reason why i ask is because you can expect i paid a pretty high price for the bumper...

but i have a friend who works at absdynamics who offers the same bumper for a fraction of the price...

and this bumper looks IDENTICAL to the one i bought
