Looks weird to me, as I suspected it would..lol Too much going on. Something also looks off in the taping. Like they went slightly too low on the cf pieces vs being right in the crease.(can't really explain what I am trying to say..lol)

Glad you are happy though, as that is all that matters.

Haha I think I know what you are talking about. Rather than tape up higher on the sides, they have decided to tape where flat bottom part of the sides starting to curve up. I guess this created the effect of looking like actual 2 carbon splitters add-on, instead of being part of the bumper. Yes I really like it. I don't mind constructed criticism though. End of the day, do what makes you happy

I knew it would come together nicely! I remember you were saying you wanted more CF accents, and between the C-west lip and side skirts, the CF hood, and the WALD rear diffuser, I think you succeeded. Great look all around, my friend!

Can't wait to see this on my smokey grey next month! Really want the hood to go with it but I've been reconsidering other vents since I'm not a huge fan of a lot unpainted carbon and it apparently not weighing any less. Great job on your car so far

Painted up my kit over the weekend, I just cleared the lip. The skirts have the bottom stop of carbon showing and the 3 nubs on the rear diffuser are showing the carbon. Pics can't justify enough, my roommate did a fantastic job with the space provided. Used ppg color matched to the sgm

The front is a tremendously tight fit, gotta do a lil repair on the bottom left side (let the gf drive it to work and she rakes it into a piece of rebar holding a chunk of concrete for a parking spot), right side rubbed through the clear vinyl protection wrap..
