I'm not feeling it. It looks like a piece of carbon fiber "slapped" onto a bumper. I personally don't like it when things like this are tried to be made to stand out, the whole bumper should, not a little piece of it IMO.

Yea, I'll be taking it off. I really wish I could fit it to work. Anyone got a heat gun? You think I can remold it by doing that?

From the front, it looks fine. From the side, it looks unfinished. I'd re-mold and try again. GL.

+1 majority rules here mike.. it looks good from the front but that side is horrible.. how can they even send a product that looks like that without something to cover it? looks like a part got lost in the mail or something fell off.. no way jose get it gone!

You made the right call Mike. The corner wasn't cutting it. They sure did look nice from the front.

BTW, I didnt really want to wait around for anyone to make one, and I had these lying around from my failed attempt to put V-style splitters on the car. So the only thing I spent money on was some double sided 3M tape.
Umnitza, please hurry up and publish the front splitter. Mike is dying here and trying to finish the look.
