looks really good. i got my kit as well and just waiting to get it painted, soon i hope.
btw, how is the fitment above the kidney grills? is that a small gap i see in the after pic? (could just be me) i've heard how some have had a little gap but fixable with a little fiddling around the inside.

the only issue i got into was the headlight washer bracket, the little plastic piece under the cover doesnt fit into the Mtech bumper, so the body shop need to cut and shave in order to make it work
my fog light is not working yet, but it is just me, because i got different plug, john will fit it next week
btw, i got this done in ny, so maybe cheaper price, because i heard some paid for $800 for that to get painted and installed
Forgestars are nice, but the Advan RS-D and Volk VR G10 you chose will look even better. I'd wait for a little more money and go with those.

Mtech front and side just got installed today, pictures was taken right after bodyshop, will need a wash soon
i know, i will need a set of wheels and a drop next, but due to budget, one step at a time
kit was from umnitza(thanks), fitment is good, but the headlight washer piece under the cover didnt fit, need to cut and shave, bodyshop did some work to get it worked
enjoy before and after pictures

looks good..don't listen to these other guys...the current set-up is good to go (chrome trim, wheels, ride height), no need for anymore mods.....
