does look very nice. Glad i could help!

really though you need to wetsand and buff atleast the front doors and fenders to get the rest of the car looking as clean and "new" as the front bumper does.

Also get some wider wheels in the back or atleast some spacers now that you have it lowered.

In person the paint looks better, but I plan on getting the whole rest of the car buffed ASAP. I havent put on the springs yet.

I told the shop to focus on the gap by the hood, and when they adjusted that up it brought the sides in closer.

Looks great man! But now since you have the aggressiveness of an aftermarket body kit, and a CF hood, you need some aftermarket wheels

Looks good. How much did it cost for fitment and paint? I plan on getting my bumper fitted better and repainted since the color match isn't that great. Thanks.

Those pics were before any adjusting so fitment was very good in my opinion for something aftermarket.

They had to take the brackets by the markers out and they trimmed the mount on the top of the bumper to pull it closer. I will try to take pics for you.

looks like it still needs some work on the corners, but not bad.

your hood looks perfect, lol.

Get some rims and put those s-techs on!

It was about 1400 for the fitment, paint, mounting and wiring the lights, they apoxyed the grill on, if you look in the pics you can see where they did some apoxy between the sides and body. And they also replaced the front splash sheild, installed the new wheel liner and put in the strakes.
