Thanks for the heads up Kyle.. but yea the shop has already prepped it to show through.

Yep.. it has the L-Sportline logo molded into the abs on all 4 pieces of the kit.

Had the kit on now for almost 5 yrs.
Thanks Rock.. yea the rear bumper also did not have the holed pre-drilled for the fasteners under the bumper. My shop had to drill them to make sure the bumper was secured under there.

i got the kit guys relax lol....

all parts are authentic.. and the previous owner had fogs screwed into bumper.. There;s also a notch on the opposite side just like the stock bumper where the fog light slides into..I promised another member the rear bumper but i made out with the front and sides... i can always get the Sorona down the road but trust me this was a deal...
