Here are the pics
Bumper arrived via freight in a big, nicely padded box
Passenger side...not bad
Driver side
Larger lip fitment
Small lip fitment....pretty disappointed here
If I squeeze the sides in, this is how much it pops out

Thickness (or thiness?) of the lips
I will recommend reinforcing them with fiberglass, which is what I'll be doing
Imperfections in the radiator ducts
Once again, these are fiberglass peices and they need some "finishing touches". If you expect to get a kit that all you need to do is paint and bolt on with no prep work, this kit is not for you.
More pics tomorrow when fitted

That looks like how mine came.
It did take quite a bit of body work to get it all fitting correctly. I left the lips off as well as it was low to begin with.
The most challenging part was to get the grills to fit right. One side was perfect and the other required a replacement piece as somebody really messed the first one up in manufacturing somewhere.

i thought about that too but I don't like the "fang" look. I am thinking about possible doing a custom lip (mold it on) but we'll see. i'm going to see if I can get down my driveway first after the test fit

Stay tuned. Should have an update late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
