Now that all the OEM parts are counted for, I can't leave the front end stock. I decided to go with Black Pearl again. I meet with Singo Utumi (Black Pearl owner) last year at Osaka Auto Messe and saw the FSport in person and knew I wanted this setup if I ever got a FSport. Contacted him about the lip kit and he committed to expediting it...got the lip kit 2 months later. Note: The first Black Pearl kit took 5 months to get here.
More pictures of the kit from the other side. Glue is now dried.
Removed excess polyurethane glue.
Started the molding process. I'm not a big fan of lip kit. I just don't like the lines showing. Molding it is the best option to make it look like a full bumper replacement.
You're right the molded 1 piece bumper look definitely is more elegant and smooth vs a lip kit. I take it you've been doing this type of work for awhile as I wouldn't even know where to begin with what you just did.
I sold my old Wald fender since the 2013+ conversion require a 2013+ fenders. I stayed with Wald since their fitment is always on point. This is their new LS460 fenders.

When you throwin' the paint on?
This is the 2nd project I've worked on where I have to do molding and sanding. The other one was last year on my V-Vision wide body SC430 for SEMA.
As for paint...still deciding on the new color change.
I'll call this the "last piece of the puzzle" modification. I don't think I can do anything else after this is install. I'll let the pictures speak for itself.
