Looks good! You added the front lip as well right? I think it looks better with no yellow overlay. Put in golden yellow fog preferrably with HID. Also, like zmcgovern4 said, you should have a clear bra. To me, the clear bra is a MUST for brand new front bumper

Is it cheaper to get the license plate holes repainted instead? Like repainting the whole bumper instead of buying a new one?

^Well, in my case the bumper cover itself had some slight damage to it as well; so replacing it fully was at the top of my list. Getting rid of the holes was an added bonus!

Glad everyone likes the new look; I'm in love with the car all over again! New wheels, new front, new headlights coming soon (non-LED, just new OEM housings), gonna try out different brake pads (have Akebono ceramic & EBD Yellows), and looking into a custom CF front splitter for the secondary bumper cover.

looks very good but you should have applied the clear bra before putting it on.
