Looks great Busta 
I admire your patience as well, if it was me I would have been pissed off and ebayed it the next day.
Thanks to you, everyone knows the truth behind installing an M5 bumper on stock sideskirts and what exactly is needed. No more myths

Congrats, Busta! You almost made it, but I recommend you put those airducts on for cooling brake. They are much more important than foglights because w/o them, your brake will fade easily.
