Yep those gaps u circled were exactly what I was talking about. I'm a sucker for perfect fitment, i.e. stock factory standard.

I have on an Autoexe front kit, and the fitment is perfect. When I say perfect, I mean really flawless. Didn't even had to have a bodyshop touch up 'cept for the usual sand prep/spray.

But that's just me, and having mentioned the above, I have to re-iterate that I really really love the Tsunami kit.

I think you should get sideskirts and a rear bumper. It doesn't look complete to me without those.

yeah, I have the full ings kit, but I wanted urethane front and this was more my style...not too over the top, but more aggressive, and clean looking

I could get the tsunami sides....but seriously to me, it looks good with the oem aero package

also I could install my ings sides and rear skirts....but, I really think it looks fine the way it is. with sides on it, the front bumper is going to be higher than the skirts. even the tsunami sides are lower than the front

The bumper looks pretty good. I like it.
It looks as if your FMIC is a bit crooked though

^it is just a bit, my CAI sits right on top of it, not much room there

you can only notice these things in pictures though...in person nobody would notice any "gaps" or other "imperfections"

I would love to see them come up with a rear bumper design. If they did, then I would probably buy the sides too. *hint, hint*

I see your hint 05rex8 haha I wish we could but since all our kits are original designs and not copies we have to have someone design a rear then mold the design on a car using foam and then produce a mold out of that design which costs some money and we would have to sell a lot of rears to cover the fees.
