Adding to the existing oem pieces....Thats pure genius..wow, what a great idea!!!! But I have to admit the front bumper especially still looks normal to me..maybe this mod is so subtle I am not noticing it because with the car dumped so low it's throwing me off...or maybe April Fools or something lol.
thanks to all for your kind words!

Agreed on the side skirt, def can tell. But did you just add 2 inches more on the corners to create more of a curve or did you add to the entire surface? It is hard to compare without a reference of what it looked like before but props to that installer who made that happen. I think you just started a new trend. I am wondering how they did that 
Car looks really good
Car looks really goodhere's a general overview of how they completed this mod:
- locate and mark an area where the cutting will take place. CIC Auto also used tape after marking
- find fiberglass or hard vinyl to connect to the 2 halves together. CIC bought this from Home Depot
- cut the material to the desired length and width. if you want to do a 2" extension, then make the width 4", 1" above and below the middle of the 2" extension area
- rivet and glue the material to each half
- apply fiberglass and bondo, then sand
- once you get the correct shape, apply prime and sand
- when everything is looking perfect, apply paint and clear coat.
below are some pics from CIC Auto:

you should be able to but I'm not sure if the wire harness will be the same. The reason I didn't go this route is because the IS mirror that I bought didn't have auto dim.

Thanks! No problem with any wires being too short. I didnt have time for CIC Auto to lower the exhaust. Will do it when I get my car back from Dorbritz Designs.
