that looks very good.
I will pm you after a few months to see if the CF will have bubbles.
I am planning to do this too.
the CF is the 3M stuff right?

the fitment of the front bumper is quite good so it may be the picture angle that exaggerates the gap between the hood and grill. as for the side skirts, it is a bit off towards the front (not sure if this is normal with umnitza kits or not). i think the shop did the best job they can, but i'll try and get them off to check them this weekend.

mirrors for almost $1000... i think i'll have to pass on them. unless i somehow find them at 90% off

Nice!!

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know?

Will it have any affect on the car if they aren't installed?

thanks guys

pinguhk - yes, it is the 3M DI-NOC. 3M makes lots of great stuff, so I'm pretty sure that it will not start bubbling.

not sure about the brake ducts actually... i guess i'll have to take a peek in there one day..
