Well, I finally finished the last pieced last night. I was not in too much of a hurry, but was excited to get it finished up; well, Kinda... I still have the lip spoiler to install and this should be arriving in the next days. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results but there were a few PITA problems that Umnitza should notify their customers of. This would make customers happier and reduce the headaches involved with the installation.

Looks awesome! I went with a matte black diffuser as well. And props to you for doing it yourself. It's not an easy task from what I hear.

Any tips on installation? I also got an Umnitza front bumper, but it nowhere looks as clean as yours!

- Front bumper to fender meets has a small gap, and also has some warpage - wish my installer has sanded the piece down before paint.
- Washer covers aren't flush

I'll add an overview I put together regarding the things that I ran into during the install in a few hours. There are several things people need to know before installing. Instructions or tips would have really been hand from Umnitza, but there are no such things... Overall all I am very satisfied with the pieces but a little unhappy with having to figure all this out on my own and from others on this forum.

looks amazing

Do have your center mount bracket as of now for your front bumper?

Mine is being mounted on without the center mount bracket.
