Here is a phone pic. Fit and finish isn't perfect on the piece in some places, but over all it isn't bad. You get what you pay for. Like I said, have your shop file air vent edges and pay special attention to the top center area when fitting it. You may also want to consider paiting the wheel well area black. There is a lot of material there and once painted a body color it gets dirty quickly. I'm spraying it black when the car goes back to the shop.

I've never taken off the bumperettes. Are there mount holes behind them you have to clean up after removal?

There are metal crumple pieces behind them that are attached to the actual metal crash bar underneath the plastic. I do not think you can just remove them and have it look fine on the same bumper without body work.

God Damn Son, well done. That looks phenomenal, the headers look mint. That exhaust looks so good, I'd be tempted to run without a bumper!!

yes, its a gt3tek. it fit up pretty nicely except on top of the center vent. my shop had to do to a lot of work to make it curve around like it should. they also had to block sand it twice to remove all the imperfections from the molding process.

Yeah, the fitment on that bumper around the center air vent is warped pretty bad unless work is done on the inside to prevent that from happening. The quality on that bumper is 'Ok' at best, but you get what you pay for and from about 5 feet it looks pretty good.
