thank u sir, I wanted to replicate the Five Axis 4GS as much as possible, plus It woulda been kinda plain had I done it all one color, I also painted the roof black, and part of my rear diffuser black

Thanks bro, this is pretty much it for me, I don't plan on doing any more major mods
Thanks Peter, hit me up when you wanna visit brother
thanks fellas
Honestly you won't see much of a difference other than having no gaps. I got a late night in the office today so I won't be able to get to finishing the car tonight. After putting on my impact bar getting my hood to shut is nearly impossible. I'm gonna have to cut it a little bit to get it to line up. Hopefully I will get it done tomorrow. I'm dropping my impact bar off to a machine shop in the morning to have it cut. I will reveal all once I piece my car back together
Inside the diffuser I used Lord Fusor 141 a plastic bonding adhesive, I have also placed screws around the bumper to secure the tight fit for the diffuser which I removed and fill the holes after I was finished. 3M tape will only last so long and as most members have had fitment issues with it.
Pros with taking this route
You will have perfect fitment
Cons
This is permanent (The fusor bonds the diffuser to your OEM bumper)
So unless you plan on never changing your rear or have no problems with buying a OEM bumper when you wanna change things up or part out your car do not take this route.
Yes sir

I've had a couple PM's asking me for the price of this project, parts alone I spent roughly $1900 in parts and misc. things I had to buy such as sand paper, adhesives etc etc, Labor was free, just costed me my time and sweat, the shop I had it painted at only charged me $1100 since I paid cash, I had the roof, trunk front bumper, sideskirts, and rear diffuser painted.
Parts that were purchased for this build was
1. 2013 GS F sport Bumper
2. Vertex Replica Side Skirts
3. Carking Wald Replica spoiler
4.Myride Replica rear diffuser
5.Nigels JDM GS Fog lamps & fog lamp garnishes
6.AP2 exhaust Tips
7.2013 GS F Sport Grill Surround
8.2013 GS F sport Upper Grill
9.2013 GS F Sport Lower grill
Parts that were carried over from my previous build
1.JDM Visors
2. 2012 headlights
3. Roof spoiler
4. 20" Rohana RC10
5.19" LFA reps
6. Alpine type x 12" subwoofer and enclosure
I have no idea what a body shop would charge for this kind of work I would imagine 4K at the least for the bumper itself based on the amount of time and labor that goes into this vs molding a trunk.
