Mine is done too. They finished it last friday. hope to have some pics posted today.
Only two issues with the install. I had the turbo ducts, but the dealer said that they would not fit. They told me that there was no way to get the turbo ducts to fit on the non turbo car. Didn't seem to matter. The stock ducts look fine in there and are plenty big to get air over the radiators.
The second issue was the mounting on the bottom. The turbo bumper has three mounting points on the bottom that are not long enough to mount to the stock points on the car. They said the bottom three were kind of overkill anyway. It's on really tight. I'll probably just run some zip ties between the bumper and those mounting points, just in case. I figure the dealer wouldn't even let me drive it out of there if it was going to be a problem.
Love the way it looks. The car looks so much better with the turbo front end. I'll get some pics up today if the weather holds up.
I did get a stone chip on the front within the first thirty minutes of driving it
