they are reps. and the skirts fit great on the passenger side. there is a tiny gap on the drivers but you cant notice until you get really close to the car. and what gap are you seeing btw in the pics? getting kinda picky on everything aren't you man?? haha

Wheels look good, especially the fronts. Rears maybe a little camber to bring them in a bit.

AFA the bumper cover is concerned, I think my problem was I did not have a long enough socket extension. Getting to the top nuts was a pain. I also lost one.

no, i couldnt tell under the door if what i thought was a gap, was actually a gap or the bottom of the door (rubber material) and it seems was color matched factory, i have a black car so i thought all the door trim (lets call it that for lack of a better term atm) was black. so now look back at your pic and what i thought was a giant gap under the door was actually your door trim

Default clear

AKGWBver2 and lowkut your cars looks great!

I'm a long way from that level, but my new clear side markers went on in 20 min, so it was a good day.
