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.
