Just to clarify, the pics above do not belong to the thread starter's build, they belong to another member who wrapped their IS in the same finish.
Still looking forward to the final product from the thread starter.

I know right? As soon as I saw your vinyl colour, I found it amusing that we were going to be twins.

I am running 235/35 front and 265/30 rear. I'm also dropped on swift springs, but have not had issues with rubbing. I think the fitment is perfect.

Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you if they wrapped the gasket. I believe they only wrapped the gas lid.

Ok cool, I got the same size tires. If theres a black ring around your gas lid, then they didnt wrap it. I can't tell from the pictures. Its one on the issues I'm struggling with....I want to do half downs on it eventually, but with the added ground spoilers I can't until I move, my driveway is too steep, I rub sometimes as it is with the car being stock. What exhaust do you have?

I don't see a black ring, but as I said, I couldn't tell you unfortunately .

Would you scrape even if you left your driveway at an angle?

My exhaust is the ARK GRiP cat-back with polished tips. They also have a burnt tip option if you like blue-tipped exhaust.

Opinions please. I'll be wrapping the front bumper this weekend. Thoughts on leaving the space between the headlight and drl black, as well as the bottom part of the bumper, don't know what that area is called. I'll have a cf lip attached though as well. See image below:
